    If 5.01 is working fine for you then leave it be.

    I have been using the Opera (5.12 now) web browser for 3 years now with no complaints, it is faster than either IE or Netscape/AOL. I only use IE 5.5 at work. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

    IE 5.5 will load pages faster on your system.

    You need internet explorer 4.0 and up for Opera to work. From this I'm guessing Opera just piggy backs off of IE. Its just a different looking interface.

    Anyone confirm this?
