It depends on what you want. When I got sick of Navigator, I needed a browser and a mail client, as well as a Java VM. All in all, the IE5 folder in my backup disk is about 30Mb. Thats compressed cab files. I don't know how much it is installed. Sure IE5 may run as low as 7Mb - but that just gets you a plain jane browser. A lot of people are thrilled at that prospect, I personally wasn't, and I'd wager a few other people wouldn't be either.

BTW: Now I'm itching to switch back to Navigator. IE5's crashes are even more annoying than Navigator's, since IE most often topples Windows 95 as well (even though I don't have it "integrated"). IMO IE's best features are its speed and the ability for a crash in one window to not bring down the other windows like Navigator does.
