Yes, the only release of IE6 so far is a beta release.

Do you think it is a good idea to download IE6? Or wait.....

Edna,

You won't have to reformat if you go to IE 6 but if you're inexperienced I wouldn't mess with anything beta. I have no intention of installing IE 6 at least until it goes GA(general availability).

I am new with computers...What do you mean by formatting after installing IE6?

Edna,

Spike is right. These forums host a lot of folks who really know a lot about computers. And they really can help. But there are also a lot of people here looking for help because they tried something that they didn't know enough about. I'd get used to the current IE, and wait until the new one gets the bugs worked out of it.

I have IE6 installed on my three computers and so far I haven't had any troubles as far as bugs go. It's not much different though. The only changes I see are a "Personal Bar" on the left, which has like weather and an embedded media player, and now also whenever you hover your mouse over a picture, you get useless options like "Save to Disk" or "Open My Pictures" or something.
