Windows 7: Microsoft: IE9 beta coming September 15

I used to be a fan of IE, until Chrome came out. Right now IE is waaaaaay to slow for me.

I am exited about IE 9 and hope it is better than Chrome.

if i download this, can i still keep IE8 and have IE8 and IE9 beta?

Also, i hope IE9 is still fast like IE8 start up wise, instant. I hated firefox when it slooowed down. By a whole 3 secs!

I think I read somewhere you will have to give up IE8 to try the IE9 beta, can't remember the source but will try & look for it.

I'm enjoying the move from Firefox to Chrome as FF was becoming too bloated for my liking, plus I hate the UI in version 4, don't think I'll be switching my browser any time soon.

All my preferred Extensions are working great now in Chrome which was the main reason for me not using Chrome sooner.

Still I hope Microsoft get IE9 right, it will put them on a good role after the success of Windows 7 & MSE etc.
