Wow.  Microsoft announced they were going to EOL it in 2003, and did
so in 2005.  That's a _long_ time to keep using a browser that's not
even getting security patches...  They only use it for sites they know
and trust, right? ;-)

As Rob said, it does, but if you keep things simple you can still do a
lot -- IE 5.5 should even have XHR and Element#innerHTML.  There's a
lot you can do with just those two things. :-)  If you want to be
doing Ajax stuff and you're not comfortable using XHR directly, you
can probably copy the basic parts of Prototype's Ajax.Request class
and get a modified version of it working.
