hi ed

i hope my comment was a positive catalyst. you've taken a brave step there. now put ie6 beta with winxp beta2 and we're really hoping for a perfect world!

touching back on our recent 'orphan' discussions, i see that ie6 beta will not run on win95. i experienced a bit of the 'orphan' syndrome when i attempted to put norton systemworks2001 on my older win95 machine and the install was halted by a pop up dialog saying nsw2001 would not run on w95. this got a rise out of me because w95 is listed on the front of the shrink wrapped carton as a compatible os. further investigation led me to discover that w95a was the only version that was incompatible. w95b is okay. i notice now that symantec is making that differentiation on the carton.

fortunately i had nsw2000 available in my software library (that means i found the disk in one of the stacks of junk here in my home office), and it installed on w95 no prob.

back to ie6 beta, this also looks interesting....

have fun and good luck
