No, stick with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6. A number of programs won't work anymore. This includes Quickbooks and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. I have no idea why Microsoft would BREAK their own software with this upgrade.
I also recommend that you buy more RAM. You computer would run faster with 512MB or more. Visit http://www.coastmemory and look up your system.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

Hi,
Different people have different opinions but put it this way. If internet explorer 6 was better than 7 then y would such a big company like microsoft waste their time, energy and money in developing internet explorer 7?
IE 7 is more secure than IE6 coz there r more chances of u getting viruses/spyware through IE6 than 7. More over, many websites r more optimized for IE7 than 6 e.g. yahoo.com
Secondly, as for the 'ram' bit. I cannot advice an upgrade at the moment coz u did not tell us how big ur hard disk is storage wise. The storage of the hard disk should be balanced by the amount of ram.
Thirdly, u might wanna get a browser called firefox which is supposed to be more faster and safer than IE.
Finally, the answer to ur question is definately yes!
Hope that helps

I don't agree with danuitti. Because you will choose your own browser . I have this set up on my computer, and the computers I work on down stairs as an administrator. Firefox 2.0 installed along with McAffe site advisor fire fox version web browser. Now, I didnt do this because it might be popular or its fancy. I did it because the security is much better then the IE explorer 7.

the most important thing before u do anything do not use the old one because its full with bugs and errors i advice u to use firefox its better safer and do good on 256ram
about internet explorer 7 is strong -at this moment- but i think microsoft offerd it before vista appears to discover all problems with users then offering it as much as perfect and strong in windows vista..
Briefly its not good to use it this time wait tell vista appears...

I would recommend downloading Mozilla Firefox 2.0. It is a much more secure program and it very user-friendly. It has a simple interface that anyone could easily use.

That is pretty much what I have. I didn't like 7. It was definitely slower. I went back to the previous one and all is well.

I haven't yet because it seems like everyone is having problems with it. I'm waiting until they get all of the bugs out of it. But it is your choice.

because you are saying you are new to computers and you may not be using all kinds of programs as our friends suggesting.
Go ahead and install explorer 7.0.
