How is IE 5.5?

[crapito]

I think I'll just quote a fellow poster, resinboy who started this topic: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=33&threadid=198710
"I "upgraded" to 5.5 a few days ago. I have a crash in Explorer every 10 minutes or so. Tried a 2nd download-no good. tried to overlay Windows again- same thing. In "Add/Remove Programs" there is no option to uninstall. PLEASE don't tell me I have to do a fresh install of Windows!!!! Sinec 5.5 is new, I didn't see ant patch files yet. I hate my life "
he hit that nail on the head: my 5.5 crashes about once an hour now, instead of once a day with 5.0. overall, it was not[/N] a good "upgrade".

I would say out them all, 5.01 was the worst.

I know it is all opinion, but that is what I think.

I like IE 5.5 since the beta came out. It is faster and more stable an my dial-up.

Strangely, I DO get the hourglass when I click on a link.

5.5 is too buggy.

i mean, when 5.0 was here, people said it was buggy, well it was fine for me. when 5.01, people said it was buggy, and i noticed it. 5.5 is really buggy... and there are :|

 

The hourglass issue has pissed me off to no end. I noticed it months ago with the first beta and thought it was a bug. Clearly it's a "feature." They really need to fix it. It really drives me nuts, even on a T1 connection.

"I dont like it. Theres a little bug where the IE Globe stops spinning, and it says 'Done', but the page isnt showing yet, you sit and wait two seconds, then its there."

what Daz said it's true
