I have Windows XP Home and 1 GB of ram. Should I upgrade to Internet Explorer
7.
I currently have IE 6.
Thanks.
 
Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:

[And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.]

Because IE7 has significant security enhancements, yes, I think you should.

You'll get different opinions, I'm sure.
 
Ken,
If you upgrade to IE7 and don't like it, can you go back without
reinstalling WXP? (I didn't read all the reference links previously posted
in this thread)

Thank you very much for your detailed reply.

I've heard and seen examples where that wasn't 100% successful. As with all
installs/uninstalls.

True, nothing is guaranteed to work the way it's supposed to.

Still, there's no more reason to expect a problem here than with any other
uninstall.
 
OK, good to know. The one time I tried it, seemed to leave at least a bit of
a mess and a few quirks, but can't recall the details.
