It's big improvement over IE8,but not having a spell checker still! and all the other browsers have better tab management,such as pinning tabs and tab stacking.

Not crazy about pinning websites to the
Taskbar,aside from Gmail or other sites that are open a lot.
I could live without addons,but they should have added a mail icon that notifies of email with your email client of choice or multiples accounts.

And last but not least,is their slow development.are they going to update it
regularly and not get outpaced by the others?

firefox 11 ? :))

It was meant to be FF 4.0 Beta 11... Thank you!

How about Opera 11.. No explanation on this article..

I always have hesitation to use IE again, though the waves of good comments to IE9 prevail. IE9 on my hand never works any faster than Chrome or FF4 beta's, especially when starting up. Such experience happens more obviously in older PCs (Pentium 4).

not sure what you're talking about.. FF always takes extremely long to start up.. IE 9 starts way faster on a fresh boot than FF does.. maybe you should try it out before making judgements

ya, check out the RC, its super fast, faster then beta. Very slick browser, I have stopped using Chrome, Opera and FF, and have returned to IE for 9.

I like IE

Contrary to my nickname I actually embrase all things non-MS ;) However I just happened to believe that anything done by MS is not necessarily useless, bloated and evil. It all depends on a particular application.

Until about 5 years ago I was running Firefox. Then it became slow and bloated and I switched to Opera. Still think it's one of the best browsers out there but too many things don't work well (KeePass integration, iNotes, etc.)

For the last 3 years I was a dedicated Chrome user and until today it was the browser of choice for me. However now I am switching to IE9. Why ? Because it feels just as fast, it takes up less memory, and it gives me 2 features Chrome doesn't: (1) I can run it in Full Screen mode and switch tabs by simply moving my mouse up

yeah IE nine may be fast but the thing is that i am an xp user and i can't use it anymore. why would microsoft leave xp users in dust when xp has the largest usage share?

Puzzled why Microsoft took so long to come up with so little.
Amazing how few options there are reminds me off a straightjacket , has even less options than Chrome .
Text is blurry
Scrolling is jerky
Has trouble with Flash
No Spell checker
Cannot have the tabs on very top of the screen to take advantage of Fitt's Law makes it useless for laptops.
Slow only benchmark it wins is sunspider google " IE9 cheat Sunspider "

Puzzled why XP users would want to download this second rate browser when they can use Opera.
