It gives you an option to supposedly allow both browser versions, but
behind the scenes, this isn't what's really going on. Both versions will
share some dlls meaning you don't have the exact same pieces that you would
with IE4 or 5. For most general web development purposes, this should work
fine. But if you are making use of complex java applets, you may find that
it doesn't truly replicate having both.

In general, it seems to be stable.
