Not to evade your question , but I have IE6 on one machine, IE7 on another and Firefox on a third...... and you know what ....All three work just fine. Are there any specific features that you are looking for ? ( note, you will require IE to do your M/S auto updates )

how can we completely delete the data stored in our pc.let me know which option should be check to clear the data after work.

Please clarify if you want to Format the hard drive ( wipe out everything ) or or you talking about "covering your tracks" after being online ?

Right thanks, but i meant to ask that which IE best suits for which os. or it doesnt matter either which IE you would like to have on you machine irespective of whatever operating system is running on your machine.
yes,i am talking abt "covering tracks" after being online.

IE7 requires Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1). Obviously, Windows XP Service Pack 2 users can use either IE6 or IE7.  

As far as covering your tracks, you can do this with any of the three browsers mentioned here.  I think it's just a matter of knowing how to do it with your particular browser.  I haven't used IE6 much for awhile so I'm not sure that it's as secure in this respect as IE7 and Firefox.  

In IE7, the first item on the Tools menu is Delete Browsing History. Right now I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.9.  On the Tools menu is the option to Clear Private Data.

You may also want to clean the index.dat files off your hard drive. These are hidden files that contain the history of the web sites you have visited. You can see them by downloding "index.dat scanner" (free) at [em-tnt.com]. You can clean them (free) by downloading [clean cache 3.0]. Click on the Internet Explorer tab and put a check by the files under 'index.dat file selection'

I believe your Internet Provider can also keep a record of sites you visit.
