I haven't seen any websites like this. Interesting. Also I am not
sure, but if you move from IE6, you might lose Outlook Express v6.

If you compare the sites you're looking at with a real browser such as
Firefox, you'll see the difference in many sites. IE7 isn't bad at all
but IE's marketshare hasn't dropped from 95% to less than 70% for no
reason.
IE6 and Outlook Express have nothing to do with each other. The only
they have in common is that they're both junk when compared to Firefox
and Thunderbird.

Greeting Bob! The only thing I notice between Firefox and Maxthon (using
IE6 engine) is how the web pages are drawn. Maxthon is very fast and
Firefox is much slower. Otherwise I really don't notice much at all.

And IE6 and OE6 have a lot to do with each other, as are integrated
together. OE6 will integrated into IE7 too, but I have some doubts if it
would be better than IE6.

And I use Firefox and Thunderbird too. And both of them stink as far as
I am concern. Thunderbird has no feature to quickly find replies to your
posts for example. This is a *must* have feature as far as I am concern.
Only OE (and I guess Live Mail has it too) has this feature with a
simple CTRL-H. And Firefox is featureless if you are used to Maxthon.
Although Maxthon was always this way compared to Firefox, so this isn't
new news.
