Microsoft releases new Internet Explorer 9

It is very fast. I like it thus far however my favorites are on the right side drop down. Not sure if I can get used to that. Gained some screen space also.

Well, first I need to get a new computer...

I fetched up a few reports indicating that the 64 Bit version is slower than the 32 Bit version.

Ooops - if that is true.

Office 2010 is recommended by Microsoft to be used in its 32 Bit version too, even if your system and OS is 64 Bit.

Some people not having done their homework...?

I am glad that MS finally decided to support WebM and not only h.264

I will say IE9 is a brillant browser. MS had got it right for me this time.

Bye bye Firefox.

I can admit that it is better, but that it is behind Firefox, purely for safety IMO

Can't bring myself to leave FF for one simple reason: Ad-block Plus. IE9 just doesn't have it.
