I dont knowww, I dropped IE a couple of months ago because of the barrage of spyware popup ads and all the junk that somehow would find its way to my puter. that and being worried about having my passwords swiped or something. I love MOZILLA!!! not one bit of spyware on my puter no popups its wonderful!!
Iwill of course download the SP2 but I may wait to hear how it works before venturing back to IE.

This person is supposed to be a technical journalist, yet has never heard of a "Service Pack" before? Yeesh.
