Learn how to get the most out of Internet Explorer 6's new features with this how-to guide.
You've probably heard a lot of hoopla about Windows XP. Amid the din over the successor to the Windows Millennium and Windows 2000 Professional operating systems, Microsoft slipped Internet Explorer 6 out the door. Well, sort of.
Microsoft released the beta of Internet Explorer 6 (otherwise known as Internet Explorer 6 Public Preview) to the public in late March. Even though the Public Preview is a pretty stable beta, keep in mind that this version isn't quite ready for prime time.
In this article, I'll discuss some safe beta testing techniques that you can use to investigate the Internet Explorer 6 Public Preview. Then, I'll introduce you to some of the browser's new and exciting features. As I do, I'll describe each one in detail so even if you decide not to install this beta version, you'll have a good idea of what's coming down the road. Microsoft plans to launch the final version of Internet Explorer 6 later this year.
Wizard Tip: Internet Explorer 6 is basically a core set of technologies based on the new Windows XP operating system. The stand-alone version of the new browser will work in Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, and Windows 2000, but not in Windows 95.
