Anxious messages have been flooding Internet
newsgroups from users who say having installed
IE5 without any problems, they then find
installing or re-installing Outlook 98 impossible,
leaving them without e-mail access.

Neil Laver, Internet products manager for
Microsoft, said that he was not aware of the
problem. 'If it proves to be serious we will
develop a fix.'

Laver added, ' Office 2000 with a new version of
Outlook, is about to be launched and that has IE5
in it, which would solve the problem.'

Our Verdict

Like so many other Microsoft applications, IE5 is one of the best
products on the market. But isn't it strange that once Microsoft
issue something new, everything else starts to need upgrading.
Office 2000 may resolve the problem, but at what price to the end
user?

Time - well you know the past history on installation and fine tuning
Money - Office 2000 will only fully functional with Windows 2000!!!
And lets not forget the infamous characteristic - Bloatware

Beginning to sound familiar?


But don't take our word for it, after all this is just one opinion
which of course carries the usual disclaimers!
