Microsoft recently released IE 9 which promises faster, safer and more convenient web browsing than any other browser.

Is this enough for you to give the new version a try?

I have been using the beta for quite some time with no issues
The ability to easily disable plugins is great.
The clutter free ff4 styling is awesome
It utilises that expensive graphics card/cards
5!

It is kind of a winner.

Already using it, but happy with Chrome (need IE for banking)...

Why when I try to vote in this poll does it not let me and brings me to the front page???

IE9 is not bad, but it's no Opera. I'll stick to my favorite browser, but kudos to Microsoft for releasing (at least somewhat) standards-compliant browser that doesn't suck.

If stuff is spelled wrong its because IE9 doesn't have spell check or something
Well here is my take on this i did 3 runs each on same server.

When useing IE9 the web pages do load faster than my firefox(it is up-to-date) and IE9 scrolls much more smothly

Oh and by the way I pay for Speed (d/u) 512K/256K

One thing i can't stand most is this such a small box

Firefox



IE9

Is anybody else having problems with Adobe Flash Player on IE9?

I get this (which is almost funny), and when I close IE9, proceed with the install and reopen IE9 youtube still tells me I need flash player..
