Can't find a good reason to use it instead of Chrome.

because some of us actually use a vast number of sites that are IE only and chrome can't handle, so having an upgraded IE thats pretty much as fast as Chrome that works so far on every site I throw at it with all features. I'll take it.

SharePoint for example, try it on Chrome, it's dumbed down. IE9 you get full features in an upgraded fast browser.

I'm loving the RC, they fixed so far all my complaints I hated about beta. Most all my older admin sites woudln't work, and they all have worked so far! 2 thumbs up!

Good post. Thoughtful and concise.

Installed the IE9 RC that was released today, February 10, 2011. Lightning fast but flashplayer won't work. Keeps telling you that you need the latest version which I already have (10.2.152.26). Uninstalled, reinstalled, downloaded the .exe file to the hard drive and tried to install. Nothing will work.

Tried the adobe help forum and can't even get connected. I am sure they are getting swamped with people trying to get the flashplayer working. I confirmed the problem by installing IE9 on my netbook with the same results. Anybody receiving information on a fix please post.

Did you enable "active x filtering" in the saftey tab? If you did, try disabling it.

Also, not sure who said URL links not working from Outlook. They are working fine here, using Office 2010. Maybe repair Office too?

UPDATE :

No. I you're looking for ie8 rendering you can press F12, and then change the browser mode. If you're looking for ie8 though, you need a VM.

f12 sounds easy enough - it is just the rendering engine i'm interested in, to test out homemade webpages...

...i'll have to look into this as well - thanks for the tip. however, that version looks old, released sep 2009 - will it work with ie's 8 and 9?

i've had a quick look and a newer version only seem to be available as part of the paid-for expression suite.

i'll try downloading the trial, and see if superpreview is a stand-alone prog that won't time out...i also wonder if it's ie9 ready...
