whats IE like when its been used for awhile, IE8 is speedy atm only cause ive just started using IE its a godsend compared to using FF for years. But will it bloat later on once I install add-blockers and the like. FF is 55mb in resources compare to IE thats using 2mb! I'm starting to like this browser again.

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 . . .
