>1) Is there any reason why I shouldn't go ahead and upgrade?
not really, unless how stuff looks in 5.0 is important
i held on to ie4.01 as long as i could (it was an extremely
widespread browser), until the day i installed my cd burner
software, and it forced 5.0 on me-- i'm still pissed about that,
but at least i now have, for the first time ever, backups!

>find this info?
depends on how deeply you want to get into it
we've got ie5.5 on the kids' computer (where the cable is at)
and i can't say i notice any difference in how pages display...
there may be better css adherence...
>3) Can I run IE 5.5 and IE 5.0 (maybe even 4.0) on the same Win 2000
>machine?
virtual machines? sorry, i wouldn't know, but i don't think
