Now that the final version of IE 6 is out, is it really better, faster than IE 5.5???? Anyone have an opinion??

I like the new security features or should I say cookie features, but all and all, I wouldn't say it's faster or even extremely better, just updated. That's my opinion. :)

is it better, hmmm you will find many opinions about that. my opinion is, i like to give a proggy a few weeks, not a few days, before i say it is better or not. personally i tried the beta before it went gold and i had noting but problems with it, so did many others. i think i will wait on this one.

I downloaded it the other day and boy to I like it! It seems quicker to load pages and display them to the screen. Otherwise, it acts just like 5.0 only faster. I'll have to get into playing around with the security enhancements. I like the fact that I now have control over what cookies are put on my machine.
