Another take on IE5. (Also worth reading as a comparison with Navigator's current and forthcoming versions and with MacIE.)

Browser brouhaha bubbles up: Microsoft debuts Internet Explorer upgrade

Still, the characterization of IE 5 as an incremental upgrade does it a disservice. True, nothing upon installation leaps up and knocks you over. But there are a slew of refinements, improvements and enhancements, which, added together, make IE 5 a must-have upgrade.

[Still seems "incremental" to me, but I eventually download all the new versions anyway, so it doesn't make much difference.]

"Bottom line: If you're happy with your current browser, there's not a whole lot of reasons to get this [Internet Explorer 5.0] one."

Hmmm. This reminds me of all those geniuses who stated that if you had Win95 OSR2 then there was no reason to upgrade to Win98.
