W98 - ie5.5 sp2 or ie6sp1?

[den]

I'm sure this must be a dillema facing many of us - really does feel a bit
like being between a rock and a hard place. There is little doubt ie5.5 sp2
is by far the more compatible but without continued support and up-to-date
security it becomes increasingly high risk. Personally wouldn't have ie6sp1
by choice but perhaps it is too risky not too? What would be really helpful
to know is how safe is it to continue with ie5.5 sp2 and how long is that
likely to be the case? Many thanks.

IE6 SP1 is compatible with Win98. I wouldn't be without it.

Frank - thanks that's very helpful - as there has been some adverse press to
the contrary, which does tend to make one wary.
