Internet Explorer 9 beta: The beauty of the web

Neowin.net - Google planning 60x faster Chrome 7 to hit back at IE9 beta

That's 60x faster than Chrome 6, not IE9. I'm sure IE9 is more than 60x faster than IE8.

Hi there
Browser wars --YAWN YAWN YAWN ---we'll find soon that the browser knows what website you want to visit even BEFORE you type the address in.

Who really CARES if it's 60 or 90 X faster than YYYY. In any case a lot of the speed is dependent on such things like the capability of the UPLOAD server of the site you want to visit --totally OUTSIDE the browsers control.

It's like in the last dying days of CD ROMS PC specs had 50 or even 75 X drives -- didn't matter that NOBODY used these and if they did a slightly warped CD could be ejected at a speed that would slice someone's neck off.

Now that's a nice idea for a Crime novel -- "Murder by PC" .

Or a SC FI novel -- "My Server is Stalking ME".

C'mon Peeps
get real with this stuff.

Browsers are Browsers --just that. Use whatever you are happiest with.
There really in the last analysis isn't a huge lot of difference with ANY of them when reduced to their basics.

Cheers
jimbo

Come on, everybody knows IE 4 was the best browser ever, thats why I'm still running windows 95.

My mom has a good computer, and she still uses the local paper for her browser. Only got her off AOL after a lot of kicking, screaming and crying.

Hi there
at least a local paper CAN't infect your computer.

True, in theory, but you don't know my mom and computers. Probably uses it as a coffee table while reading the paper. Sets the paper on the desktop...puts the coffee cup on the paper...some print ink seeps into the motherboard....

- but it's a bit more than just another spanner in a toolbox..

IE9 is actually trying to improve your online experience..
personally, I reckon it raises the standard..

it's now up to web-designers to make best use of the advances IE9 brings..

That is what they are promising. A new experience. Not yet but it's early.

Hello everyone,
Has anyone tried any coding w/IE 9? I have a real simple custom google search on my network for school. It looks and works perfectly in IE8, Google and Firefox 3.6, but in IE 9 beta I can't "corral" the google search bar. Here is what it looks like in IE 8 and et. al.

In IE 9 beta:

And here is the code:
View attachment form method.doc

I've already enabled the compatibility view which did allow the 'signing in' to the network but did not correct this misalignment glitch on this custom search module.

This is the network website http://www.envisionenglish.ning.com If you want to take a look. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
James

I've read an interresting tweet just now... I think it's just too true - at least for me... here it is :

they should rename Microsoft Internet Explorer to Microsoft Firefox Downloader.

Hehehe...

Download languages for Internet Explorer 9 Beta

I am really enjoying IE9. I think I can notice the hardware acceleration on my computers while watching movies and watching programs load and such. Not 100% sure though, lol.

Still, it does seem to load things quicker and to overall feel quicker, but it's not a huge change. And the layout and simplicity is really nice.

Though, have there been any updates for the beta yet? I'm assuming they don't install/update automatically, and that I need to hunt them down. Just guessing though.

I just started round two of my trial of IE9 beta. I just got a new SATA drive for this PC and did a clean install, Windows 7 home premium x64. I did windows update first then installed IE 9 beta. Both the 32 and 64 bit versions appear to be working fine, even the view downloads function which didn't work for me previously. I've installed Java and the Flash beta V2. I like it, my only complaint is not being able to set the 64 bit version as default browser, but thats old news at this point.

Alright, I have a complaint/problem with download in IE9b. I have no difficulty with downloads that I save to file, but when I click on "open," it appears that nothing is happening.

Under IE8, a window would pop up after the file opened and the install option would be available, but with IE9, I don't see any of this. The only solution I have found is to save it to a file and then go to the folder and open that file.

Anyone else seen this.

PS I have read through most of this thread, but I haven't seen any reference to this problem.

THX.
