Microsoft announced on Monday that the latest version of its Internet Explorer browser is now available for download from the Web.
IE 6 will be integrated into Microsoft's forthcoming Windows XP operating system. Monday's release will permit users of older Windows operating systems to preview some elements of XP before its scheduled release in October.
