Yes. And it's not just windows 95. I remember trying to get our corporate time reporting program running on W2000. I think I came across at least 2 different IE versions there as well.
And yes, they all sucked.
Posted by bobo at June 13, 2003 9:21 PMWindows Update won't give you any hotfixes for IE 5.5 SP1, because IE5.5 SP1 is no longer supported. The only update that's offered is IE5.5 SP2 or IE 6.
the difference-in-display issues aren't too serious in my experience - anything that works even vaguely well works the same on IE5.01 up to 5.5 SP2. It's really not worth trying to work around the minor variations in bugs - just avoid giving anything IE 5.x anything it can't handle properly. Given that it's a personal site, you could just hide all of your CSS from anything less than IE6 and leave those users with an unstyled page.
Posted by at June 13, 2003 10:42 PMThe answer is simple. One has security hotfixes, the other one does not.
Win95 is no longer a supported product, thus you'll get zip from windows update.

Posted by alanjstr at June 17, 2003 1:45 AMIt doesn't necessarily look right in Moz either. By the time you build a user stylesheet to get rid of the mousetype on most blogs, some things wind up in inappropriate places. In this case, "the bird blog" is overlaid by the calendar days.

IE 5.50.4522.1800 = IE 5.5 SP1
IE 5.50.4807.2300 = IE 5.5 SP2
Phil, then why does the About box of IE 5.50.4807.2300 say SP1?
