We'll see!

I'm glad Daniel is banned or else I'd be in for some hurtin'.

However, its success may be held back - at least in the short term - because the browser cannot be used with Windows XP, still the dominant Microsoft operating system.

I've read some positive things about IE9. But I guess I'll never know whether it's any good or not. Unless something bizarre happens, XP will (hopefully) be the last Windows operating system I'll ever buy - and it won't work on XP. Oh well...

Say, when does Daniel get out of Ban Jail? It's too quiet in here without him.

Stupid that they're not releasing it for XP and 2000, seeing as millions of people still use them and will just migrate to Safari/Firefox/Opera/Chrome etc

I disagree with Daniel on just about everything, this forum needs my nemesis back

I'm currently using the IE9 Beta, and its not too bad. the layout is nice, not cluttered, similer to google chrome. I haven't tried out the new download manger yet, so I can't comment on that, but so far, its good

My verdict so far: nice layout, seems a fair bit faster than IE8, also definately faster than FF and Chrome on the same PC, but a fair few pages not rendering properly outside of compatibilty mode.

It's true.

Bad experience with the previous explorers. Installing those previous versions is like entering customs. So many questions they asked, you have to fill otherwise it won't install. And i stop it from installing. explorer 9 won't work on older OS like xp. Even on Vista it won't install because service pack is not supported or something. It install fine and worked straight "out of the box" with win7. But they have lost me. I'm now forever with Chrome

We'll see what Mozilla throws out with Firefox 4!
This whole browser thing causes so many problems. I work with people who develop a portal based system for storing data and running compute jobs which you access through a web browser, and half their time is trying to deal with problems because a particular browser isn't acting as it's supposed to!
