IE 5.2 out

[datalok]

visited macfixit and discovered IE 5.2 released - installed it very painlessly and have to say it is very snappy. Uses quartz so suppose to look better (can't see it myself but then again I trust m$ implicitly!!!). Here is the guff:

I was using it for along time last night (mainly browsing these forums ) and to be honest, appart from the QE text smoothing I found no difference what so ever.
In speed, or anything else

I agree, i see no difference at all , in fact i think its worse!

I get beachball more often now, it could be that my cable modem is having a bad day, but it a day at the beach for me!
