It's not like a patch that can be troublesome, this is a final version, released after a year of beta testing. If you're inclined to use IE, no harm in downloading now, it is a step up from IE7.

(Although your fellow Volunteer may demur with that last piece ;)

Yes; I updated from IE 5.5 to 6.0 yesterday. No problems but there were a pot full of security updates needed. :) :)
Git'er Done !!!!

I would assume it is pretty safe. I'll give it a try. If it is anything like in W7, then it should be faster.
