IE9 beta available for download

fred8615 · 10-20-10, 08:44 AM

Tried the IE9 Beta awhile back. Flash wouldn't work for me in it, but works fine in IE8. Even the 64 bit version. While I wasn't the only person reporting this, it does seem to be affecting only a few users.

Anyway, I'm not using it anymore, having gone back to IE8. I'll wait until the final version, where hopefully this'll be fixed, before installing again.

That said, I did like everything else in IE9.

I have always used IE. Works ok for me and will probably do so in the future. I will wait for the offical release. Oh, I do use IE 64bit at home. I enjoy it. Seems very fast.

IE stands for Internet Expendable. Those who use it are . . .expendable

It's paying for its sin for killing Netscape Navigator.

Wasn't that thing a piece of junk? I distinctly remember it was awfully slow even by the rather poor standards set by my 28kb/s modem...

Was fine to me then. Kinda like it in fact. Don't remember anything about being slow then . . .
