Yes I know Microsoft , but I like it so use it.
Slat me if you like.
Just d/led IE 9 Beta and I like the look of it and it seems to load faster and bring up webpages faster.
Anybody else trying it or just me :D

I'm going to slat you heavy.



Are you comparing it to IE8 or Chrome/Firefox?
 
I was just reading about it and watching the demos. It's Opera for me too; it has been for about 7 years now, but I'm fed up of it's glitches. They fix one thing, and break 2, and the browser barely works with Google's services. And I don't want 100s of 3rd party shit/plugins/extensions on my browsers, so Google Chrome and Firefox are out. I'm downloading it now; Microsoft's betas are well better than the final products of 99% of the software vendors anyway.

Huh? Chrome is a ready built browser, you don't need any extensions for it, and there are some genuinely excellent ones for it. Like a page translator.

Yes, I do. Mouse Gestures, Ad-block/etc, one for smooth scrolling (scrolling in Chrome sucks big time), one to get the little "basket" with all the closed tabs in it on the right of the address bar, I don't know if there is one for IRC, and there were a few more which I had to download when I tried it out about a week ago. I CBF fecking around with them and then updating them every week or so only to find out that one of them has crashed and is hence breaking my browser or that one of them is unsecure or that one of them is not compatible with the new version of Chrome or some other extension.

Opera comes built in with all that, and then some, and that's a ready built browser. If only they could fix this Google shit.
 
Yeah, that link posted has options for Vista too.
 
Chrome and Firefox are my standard browsers, but as a designer I'm glad IE9 is out. It's definitely the IE I will use and recommend (given the increased HTML5 and CSS3 support). Every new version of IE should be greeted with a huge cheer (even though we later learn IE dev team has fecked something else up ) because the quicker people move away from IE6 and IE7 the better.
 
Just got it installed, so far looks promising. Its extremely fast and there are a few nice add ons which i have always been hoping for - namely introduction of a download manager!

However, i hate how they have swapped the button config around, took me ages to get used to IE8 and they change it again! Still i prefer IE to the other ones out atm, my only wish is they dont mess it up for the final release. MS have a habit of showing a really good beta then the final is bugged somehow
 
The Microsoft administrator at work installed it and it stopped his widgets working, took him about 20 minutes to get it off his machine.

I will continue to use firefox
