I've been looking at visitor logs and am amazed to see MSIE 4.0 and 5.0 showing up. If you are running a fairly old IE version and want to upgrade to a newer version (and there are good security reasons for doing so) then an easy way to do that is to go to the Windows Update page on the MS site and go thru the fairly automated update process. It also will analyze your machine and tell you what security updates they have for it that you can have installed automatically. Its a wise thing to do. You shouldn't be out cruising the net with all sorts of old security holes unpatched.

Note as well that IE6 has sp1 out and IE5.5 sp2 has security patches that go beyond the sp2 level.

One other thing: I do not test my sites against anything older than IE5.5 and have no idea what IE 5.0 or 4.0 does with the style sheets that are used on the site. One person gave me a rather sketchy report of my blogs looking really bad on Mac IE 5.0. I have no way to test that and would suggest that anyone at IE5.0 or earlier upgrade (or install Opera or Moz).

I do most of my work on this site using Mozilla 1.1. I also check it against Opera 5 and IE 5.5. If you want to find Moz or Opera then check out my earlier link about Mozilla and other browsers.
