I find it rather unfair to base a new product version on its predecessors. If everyone had that logic I doubt there'd be many Windows users.I will not give IE a second chance, not with its mediocre track record. I always wonder why so many people still use IE. Its features are mostly copied and then poorly implemented, years after the competition.
I think IE is MS worst product: no vision, no style.
Probably most people still think IE=internet
I like the speed of FF and the addons. I also very much like the the built in spell checker. It works great for forums. I am on a guest machine using IE 8 at the moment and I miss the spell checker. I will definitely try IE 9; but I will probably remain with FF.
will you be able to download it in march or is that when its comming out as a beta

Probably most people still think IE=internet. But in reverse one can say that if firefox, chrome or opera had the same track record as IE they would have been out of the game long time ago :).
Will still download IE9 as a backup browser, but with little expectations...
I'm probably overlooking something obvious, but what exactly is debuting in March? A preview build (like say pre-beta)? A public beta? The final?
hopefully it doesn't use lots of ram.
I've run MSE exclusively since November. It has caught 3 suspected items during that 3 months. I also periodically (2-3 times a week) run Malwarebytes and about every month of so I will run Spybot or Superantispyware just for the helluva it to see if MSE is being honest with me. Those "outside" programs have never found a problem.
Can you document some of the problems you are having?
Well - i just hope IE9 has got the speeeeeeeeeeeeed. Which, obviously, all the other browsers have, but IE...
As as for working/compatibility - they should have an easy job. If the Opera team can get it done fairly done, then MS and its huge resiourvers of employees should have no issue getting it done. I expect nothing less then perfect from a company as massive as MS and with as large cash reserves.... And especially after Windows 7, i mean, just having an ownage browser is just a cherry on top... (Sry for the weird phrases - learning 4 languages hurts my english, considerably... lol)
oh great another internet browser from Microsoft that is filled with holes and is just crap.
