Advantages: quicker, visually better

Disadvantages: can be unstable on some OS'

Another fine product from the microsoft company!

As you would expect from the latest version of Internet Explorer it's the best. Quicker & more importantly, it's reliable than previous versions. However I beleive that this version is designed for Windows XP and isn't quite as stable on other OS'

Visually there are not really many changes but it's underneath the skin where all the changes have been made or so I am told. More tools than ever it's everything any surfer could ask for. It's even free!!!

Unlike other free browsers IE is designed to work with Windows, although microsoft have been slammed for doing this, most people use Windows so I see no problem with this, just all these anti-microsoft people trying to cause a stir in the computing world.

Anyway, because it's designed for Windows, it works far better for most people that have got a PC rather than netscape which should be kept on macs, i totally hate it, it's no where near as good as IE which out performs it in everyway.

So do your self a favour, if you havn't already got IE which is basically impossible if you've got a PC or if you've got a lower version, get onto the microsoft site and download the latest version.

"netscape which should be kept on macs" is one reason for the "somewhat useful"

Net scape works well on Windows OS.
I've got IE 6 and it's just as unstable as version 5. It will often pop up a error message just for opening a window or going to a page with javascript!

I 9;d recommend sticking with your current version of IE, especially if your having no problems and have got a older windows OS, e.g. 95, 98

Opera is a great browser. Alot simplier and quicker than IE...

I wouldn't say Microsoft IE is vastly better than Netscape.
Netscape does a good job..
