If you want IE7, sure. I prefer 6.1. There is no "should" involved. -- Gary S.

Ken, If you upgrade to IE7 and don't like it, can you go back without reinstalling WXP?

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

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

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. -- Gary S.
