I'm running IE4 on my TP560; have been for some time.  It was flaky until I
installed a post-IE4 BIOS.  (You also need fairly recent video drivers;
sometimes installing or reinstalling these  *after* installing IE4 resolves
problems.)

I *do* have some other problems  (for example, inability to run in W95 safe
mode) which are possibly peripherally related to IE4, in the sense that some
of the DLL versions wanted by some of my software might not be 100%
compatible with the ones IE4 supplied.  However, I believe that if someone
buys a new TP560, puts in the latest BIOS and drivers, installs IE4 (and then
perhaps reinstalls the video drivers) then IE4 will run fine on the 560.
