Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 Sp1 full download
Is there any way to download or purchase a full install version of Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 Sp1? (other than buying the cd from Microsoft online -- perhaps it is sold in stores, but a search didn't provide much hope of that.)
the best solution would be able to download a full offline installer version of IE (like you can with Netscape, Opera, and Mozilla) can. I guess that's too much to expect from Microsoft? =/
I guess when you have a monopoly you don't have to play nice. When will Microsoft realize, I'd rather spend $1,000 buying an offline OS/browser than pay $100 to have one always on their heartline and to be obsoleted at their whims. (and I'm pro-Microsoft and I'm saying that. What a shame)
any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Thank you Chuket, an interesting solution. I would prefer a Microsoft.com download location, but this was certainly unexpected. thank you.
If anyone else has some input as well, I'd be very interested in it.

Seems to me Any AOL 9.0 Optimized CD can help.
Click Run... Click Browse...

You can download either IE 5.5 Sp2 or IE 6.0 here:

It will come branded wih citynet as the dial-up. Just go in and remove it and replace it with your dial-up connection.

Gothummingbird, I really do appreciate the option. But the 'garbage' that AOL codes into windows system keys is so awful that I'm surprised Microsoft allows it.
However, that was an option that I hadn't thought of. Thank you for the suggestion.
Perhaps I should online download IE6sp1 on a fresh system with every option enabled, then snapshot/image the install. -- although that would still only be good for that specific computer configuration/OS. :(
