You do need IE, but whether you need 7 or 6 is up to you. Initially, v.7 came with some problems and many switched back to 6 until it was fixed (myself included). I have had 7 for some time now. Rarely use it as I am addicted to Firefox :-). But when I have used IE, it works just fine. The "security" they refer to though is only in place when using IE, as previously it was suspect.

MY PC is much faster without it. It does state it has enhanced security. If that is true then I suppose it is worth being slower. Do any of you use it?
