Internet Explorer 9 beta: The beauty of the web

[derekimo]

Well I have not uninstalled my FF but I am going to be using this IE9 beta as long as It keeps working for me, Like how It takes you to the windows update That's pretty neat.

How you do that?

Here you go,

Well I had a major disrupt on restart after installation.

After bios a blue screen with writing popped on the screen but not on long enough to read and it went into another reboot.

When it came up the second time a screen opened to go into safe mode etc. or load Windows. I hit load Windows with my fingers crossed and the below in picture popped so I clicked search for solution. Nothing else came up.

I'm not sure what happened but I'm using the IE9 now off the tool bar icon. I'm not sure if it is 64 or 32bit.

Thanks again - I didn't have the Command Bar showing - so much to learn - so much fun.

This is what I call a good beta product

It installed, imported all favourites and seems to run perfectly. Tomorrow night I'll download the Flash update. If that works OK I'll not be changing browsers anytime soon. IE9 is a very good update from IE8, in my opinion.

I know, it's like a new toy......kinda.

Wow!!! It is almost as good as Chrome now!!

Nice job Microsoft!!!

-But... I'll still stick with Chrome after I play around with this beta.

I agree it definitely feels better, as you said more fluid. I have just uninstalled Firefox!

I think I'll follow your example here. A little adventure is good for the soul.

Think I'll sit this one out for awhile. I loaded it up this morning and found that it broke several things. Went to Chess.COM to respond to a move and it couldn't even display the board properly. Chrome does everything - and FAST. I'll just sit by and watch for now.

Works a treat!
I only have a few minor gripes about the UI... Dont like the blocky squareness of the tabs; the big blue back button could be a little more discrete; headroom above the addressbar/tabs; size of the download manager popup.
Didnt really like them since I saw the leaked picture.
Apart from the cosmetics, I havnt found anything lacking yet.
Still've got to give it a good thrashing yet... Woo.

Love you too, Microsoft.

How do you get a redirect on IE9 from here:
Internet Explorer 9 Beta

to limoland: LimoLand | Official Site

when you click on the "See It Now" button on the above MS page.

Now I see why it wouldn't install and showed the security bug in the crash data.

Ok, im also just downloaded IE9 and installed it. But IE9 still failed to run properly on one of the Facebook applications. But it was fine running under Firefox and other browsers also. Will see how Microsoft fix this issue when the real IE9 is out.

 

[Darician]

I wonder if anyone has found a way to put the tabs below the address bar instead of the right in IE 9 Beta? The reason is I have some older monitors with lower resolutions and tab space is quite limited on these.

Hopefully Microsoft will remedy this issue at least as an option in the final version of IE 9.

 

[Skulblaka]

It does get weird with the tabs on the side rather than the bottom.

 

[Gornot]

I am more interested in an option to bring back a website to the new tab page after I dismissed it. No luck on my own, even the product guide didn't say anyting xD

 

[MattRainier]

HOT D...arn. WOW. 0.0 It's fast. I can say that much with certainty. And the 64-bit "Square" certainly makes the whole experience better. Hm. IE9 and "Square" released on the same day...coincedence? I think not.

IE 9

How do i get it to remember adresses and passwords???

 

[Gornot]

You don't have to "get it" it does it on its own. If you meddled with any settings, meddle again, the old settings from IE8 prevailed when you installed this beta.
