[yowanvista]

According to the latest statistics released by the Redmond company, IE9 Beta has been downloaded in excess of 15 million times since the initial release in mid-September.

There have been an average of 200,000 downloads of IE9 Beta per day since the first public development milestone of the browser was launched, two and a half months ago.

Microsoft did not reveal how many users are actually running the Beta of Internet Explorer 9, but they did point users to information released by Internet metrics company Net Applications today.

“The momentum of Internet Explorer 9 Beta continues at a healthy clip, reaching over 15M downloads through November and now equaling 0.38% of share worldwide,” revealed Roger Capriotti, Director of Product Marketing.

Wow, Internet Explorer is more popular than I thought. I can see why, it's fast, seriously... can't wait until they release the final stages of this Beta.

 

[Dave76]

That's impressive, have to admit I like it, runs fast for me.

 

[Nemix]

Yeah it's fast (compared to IE8) and has a great UI. But (for me at least) is still no where as fast as Chrome.

No where near as fast as Chrome? Give me a break! There are quite a few benchmarks where IE9 does better than Chrome like hardware acceleration and even javascript. Latest adobe beta also works better on IE9 btw. IE9 and firefox4 come fast from behind and Chrome is no longer the undisputed performance king.

Pfft benchmarks really don't show you much, im talking about real life situations and for me Chrome is faster. I have all the major browser and their betas (FF4, Opera 11) and on my computers Chrome is still reasonably faster, when according to the benchmarks Opera and FF should be speeding ahead.

It really depends on what set up you have and how decent you Internet speed is.

Loving it Been using 64-bit beta for everything at home except NetFlix (which uses Silverlight... c'mon 64-bit!) - wish I could use it at work as well, but their still all XP machines

+1 ....Yup ..for my taste and without add-on ..chrome is the fastest ..

I expect some systems would run it without so much as a small wee, while others would not and with my luck....

Does anyone know how close this is to final?
