I installed Windows 98SE some time ago and it includes Internet Explorer
5.0.  I found this combination to be much more stable than IE4 had ever been
on Windows 95A - my previous system.  It does still lock up sometimes, but
not as often as IE4 did.  Of course, even after saying that, I have to agree
with Jim.  Unless you have some reason to upgrade to a newer version,
whether for new features or to fix a problem, stay with what you have -
don't trade the unknown for a working set of programs.
