Yeah I upgraded from IE5 not that long ago and as people have said there's very little noticeable difference in functionality. Images now have a little toolbar that appear on them allowing you to save, print etc. without using the right-button...pretty useless unless you have a programmable mouse and wanna use the right button for something else. Also, the security options are more diverse...oh and there's automatic fault report generation so if the browser crashes, a fault report is made automatically (I'm assuming it dumps the contents of the memory so you can send it to Microsoft to pore over and they'll apparently use the data to fix bugs.)
I also installed Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000 at the same time and since then sometimes everything just freezes up and I have to use task manager to shut down a windows explorer. Although this mostly happens when I'm using IE6, I always use IE6 so it could just be something to do with the Service Pack. Anyway, only for win2k (which hasn't actually crashed so that I've had to reboot- ever [img]smile.gif[/img] )
There is one benefit to the toolbar over pics. I don't know if you've noticed it or not, but these will pop up even if the right mouse key has been disabled by javascript.
