From the 1-2 hrs I have used IE9, it definitely loads faster than IE9 RC which of course was better than IE8. Definitely worth the upgrade and looks the best amongst the 3 browsers I use: IE, FF, and Chrome. FF interface has got better in FF4 beta and RC, but IE9 RC looked better than IE8 and IE9 RTW performs a lot better than IE9 RC.
Anyone know if microsoft will offer this via windows updates or microsoft updates or do we just need to download it from the links given here thanks
It will probably be released in Windows Updates in the near future. Then again, why should you wait? Just download it from the links given here and it should be same as the ones downloaded via Windows Updates. Don't wait anymore. Enjoy the goodness of IE 9 now.
As of 3 hours back (or say 2 AM GMT on 16-3-11), it was not even offered as an optional update. I had IE9 RC and no updates (important or optional) were offered till 130PM GMT on 15-3-11. Then I installed IE9 final and there was no question of any update then. To repeat again, IE9 is better than IE9 RC which had a load time delay. On another note, could they have not integrated IE9 into windows 7 sp1. This kind of thing has happened before perhaps with some sp of windows xp.
This would have delayed SP1 a good month or more.Besides they don't integrate new browsers and for example new .NET versions into SP-s.I don't know why but they only include them in SP0 versions.Meaning .NET 4 and IE9 will come preintegrated...in Windows 8 :S
Is possible to disable the included download manager of IE9? All work good on Win7 x64, but the Orbit download manager that I use with IE8, now with IE9 don't works: all files are managed from IE9 download manager.
Anyone found a trick to move menu bar on the top? "ITBar7Position"=1 doesn't work. And where is the progress bar?
IE9's clear type / GPU acceleration makes text look pretty blurry though. The only way I found to semi fix the issue is to enable compatibility mode for all websites as the default. Which I'm guessing switches IE back to software rendering, but text viewing is much sharper and more crisp.
right click on the icons at the top of ie9 next to homepage/fave icons then you`ll see the extra options that are hidden, menu bar, progress bar etc
I signal that starting today IE9 doesn't open the youtube video : perhaps for New 0-day Vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player? Instead Firefox it normally opens the youtube video.
Hi everyone, i've a little "big problem" with IE9, i can't watch youtube videos... it tells me first """ You need Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. Download it from Adobe. """ than, when i try to do this, appears this """ Flash Player 10.1 is not currently available for Internet Explorer 9 (64-bit) Beta. Download a preview release of Flash Player that includes optimized support for Internet Explorer 9 Beta (32-bit and 64-bit) from Adobe Labs. """ maybe someone could help me solve this prob?
