reply to Gone Fishing
This is one beta I'm looking forward to.

reply to Gone Fishing
What time will IE9 Beta be available for download?

reply to Gone Fishing
I am stunned at how quickly this thing renders sites. Absolutely amazing, in beta form, a thousand times superior to IE8.

This is best best IE browser in 10+ years. It's so smooth.

2 things I don't really like so far...

1 - The font rendering... I hate it, and I can't find a way to get it to use "normal" non-aliased fonts. Even turning off the GPU rendering doesn't do it.

2 - UI not customizable. I know everyone is out for minimalism now, but I would at least like to be able to have a full row for tabs, not have them squished beside the address bar, because I sometimes have 8 or so tabs open. I like to see at least a bit of the tab title. Maybe someone will eventually find a registry hack for that or something.

Other than those 2 things, looking good so far!

Very nice. Runs fast and smooth. The only thing so far is I can't get to Yahoo mail with it.

edit: Anyone else having a Yahoo mail problem with IE 9?

I just went to my yahoo mail inbox and it worked fine.

reply to Gone Fishing
My daily routine of web sites all work fine. Good job Microsoft.

reply to cmcasey79
Thanks. I'll try and see what's up on my end.

Edit: Fixed, just had to clear out my old cookies.
