Talk:Internet Explorer 5

Windows Me
Windows Me shipped with a non-final version of IE 5.5, but I can't find out which one. The chart currently incorrectly says that Windows Me shipped with a version of IE that was released in July 2000. - Josh (talk | contribs) 16:35, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe 5.50.4134.0100  rather then 5.50.4134.0600 (from  here) Digita (talk) 01:39, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:IE Unix.PNG
The image Image:IE Unix.PNG is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:


 * Image:Oe-Ie5-unix.jpg
 * Image:IEMac.png
 * Image:IEMac icon.png

EVolt "advertising"
I do not believe that the entire section with hot-linked hyperlinks to evolt is either a constructive use of evolt's bandwidth or marks good authoring for an encyclopaedia article. To me it seems like a shameless plug for evolt - it's not as if they are the only source of such downloads and having the links in a long paragraph is not adding any documentable value to the quality of the article.

I would propose this be removed save for someone coming up with a credible need for a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by C:Amie (talk • contribs) 17:40, 20 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Agreed. certainly not appropriate for an intro even if you think it's appropriate for an encyclopaedia.81.187.45.71 (talk) 21:11, 15 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I moved links to "External links" section. What do you think about? I think they are useful.--Luca Ghio (talk) 21:42, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

IE5 image issues?
The screenshot shows that IE5 can't show the Wikipedia logo... is this because the logo was created later? I can't see anything in the article about why this would be the case! - 114.76.231.84 (talk) 06:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia logo is a PNG image that uses alpha transparency: IE5 lacks support for alpha transparency in PNG images, instead removing all transparency and displaying the image with a solid colour background (grey unless defined in a PNG bKGD chunk).--Luca Ghio (talk) 07:58, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Ie5 mac
i propose creating a new article Ie5 for Mac, seeing as the windows and mac products have nothing in common apart from the misleading name.Volunteers willing to help, advise?CecilWard (talk) 21:26, 15 June 2011 (UTC)


 * It already exists: Internet Explorer 5 Macintosh Edition. --Luca Ghio (talk) 21:42, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
