Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) Release Candidate (RC) on February 10, 2011

So is there a way to get the url stack list (the back button recent history (The little down triangle next to the forward button on IE 8)) in IE9?

That feature is ESSENTIAL for backing out of a LOT of webpages that "trap" you. I use it daily and it's not visible on the IE9 screen shots...

I appretiate minimalism but when it glaringly interferes with daily use of such an important tool... we may be heading into Mac territory here.

Right click the button.

Well not yet, I guess (I have a feeling that they aren't going to fix .gif speeds). I can't tell any difference in speed, but so far the javascript bug where pages didn't finish loading the graphics after a while hasn't appeared. Sites still say you are using IE7, though.

This is scary.

Pardon my ignorance, but which link is which ? 32 v 64

The smaller one(first one) is the 32bit version, second one is 64bit

Hmmm...the Gmail page renders a bit oddly. With "include updated web lists from MS" enabled under Compatibility views, the gmail page looks odd. Particularly the "Archive" button which appears in very heavy bold. Also, the text rendered is odd too- somewhat compressed. In the earlier version, I had to check the able to web lists option and things settled down. That does not seem to be the case this time. I hope this gets fixed. There is one other thing I noticed - this version lags just for that one fraction of a sec more than the previous version and that is noticeable (at least to me). I do like the option to show the tabs under the search box. It is useful to have even if I don't use it often.

Edit: As far as I can see, all pages/ sites that I have visited are rendered well...except for Gmail!
