Hardly any. I'm very disappointed in IE6. The only things added to it are
the DOCTYPE, where setting any doctype causes the browser to behave to what
I suppose MS engineers think are the standards, but really is just a chaotic
jumble of good and bad ideas, and some minor stuff like display: list-item
and a few DOM things. The browser should have been called IE 5.6 .
As to upgrading, you probably should have a copy of IE6 to test sites with.
But don't throw away IE5 yet, more people still use 5 than 6.
