It hits 60fps on the fishtank test, on both IE9 and FFb6, however FF stutters at times, it doesn't effect the frame rate, which stays at 60, but there's a little stutter every second or so. IE9 doesn't do it (doubt it really matters, both beta's) but it certainly does seem more fluid on lots of websites. It seems awesome so far, I just really wish I knew what was wrong with my gadget!

However, one gripe... Whatever updates installed seem to have stopped my CPU meter gadget working.
My only problem as well, this is what my "All Cpu Meter 3.2" Gadget looks like:
System Manufacturer/Model Number: Dell and Custom OS: Systems 1 and 2: Windows 7 Enterprise x64, Win 8 Developer CPU: System 1: i7 2600@3.4GHz, System 2: AMD FX-4100 Zambezi 3.6G Motherboard: System 1:Dell 06NWYK System 2: ASUS M5A97 AM3+ Memory: System 1: 8GB System 2: 8GB Graphics Card: System 1: ATI FirePro V4800 System 2: Radeon HD 6850 Sound Card: System 1: onboard System 2: onboard Monitor(s) Displays: System1: Viewsonic HDMI 24" Screen Resolution: System 1: 1920x1080 System 2: 1920x1080 Case: System 1: Dell System 2: Cooler Master Hard Drives: System 1: Mirrored .5B drives System 2: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s Internet Speed: 10 MBPS
Works fine for me. As a few others above have pointed out, it def replaces IE8.
I'll play with it but I'm a pretty much die-hard FF fan now running 4.0b7pre.
IE9 is much faster in rendering motion as the FishIE, on my weak system, shows 30+ FPS at 100 fish on IE9 and only 17 or so on FF.
IE9_Beta ____________FF_4.0b7pre
(Posted with IE9) No issues so far - all gadgets are working fine. Classic Shell still good to go. FF plays nice with it as I have both running right now (and fish swimming in each :)).
