I personally prefer IE for a variety of reasons, most notably that it loads 
faster.  It has a few annoying characteristics, but my irritants may be 
your features, and vice versa.  Of course the same is true of 
Netscape.  IE5 is the current version, and is really solid.  Do a custom 
install, not the standard one, so you can choose which extra junk you do or 
don't want installed.  (Of course same pertains to NS or darn near anything 
else these days).   I'd suggest putting it on just one of your public PCs 
(if you have more than one) and giving it a try.  We have 44 PCs for public 
and they're all gradually being converted from NS to IE.

cheers
