INTERNAT EXPLORES 5.x UPDATES
The newest version, IE5 (17MB) was released in March 1999. It includes the updates , bug-fixes, and security enhancements for IE 4.x. You can install IE5 over IE4.x.
IE 5 is definitely faster and has enhancements such as the ability to save Pages (including the graphics). However some users have reported problems on their systems, so caution is advised for the moment.
Should you wish, you can install IE 5 'beside' IE 4.x on the same operating system - use Custom Installation, and Advanced.
