This video summarize my experience pretty well. IE9 seems faster then IE8, and older versions of IE. IE 9 Beta seems like a great improvement from IE 8.

I don't believe in IE, but I might as well try it. :/

 

[Raymond]

Nope, as it doesn't support windows xp.

 

[Dark Takua]

Oh no way. I'm an FF guy.

 

[fantanoice]

It's IE, so... hell naw. 😛

 

[Luke]

IE = a no go zone.... 😛

 

[Lukas]

No. It's IE, AND I have a mac.

 

[Luke]

IE SUCKS!

 

[DarkKnight]

Heh... I'm a Mac.
PC = Fail

 

[Luke]

I use Vista 😛

 

[Justin]

Yep, downloading it now. Looks awesome

I'll stay for Firefox and Chrome.

Nice try though IE.. nice try.

If they promise the SVG/CSS3 support, and the over 90/100 on Acid3 test (100 is a pass, and Firefox hasn't passed yet) in the final release, I'll consider it.

I like Chrome/Safari/Firefox. Finally got Microsoft to actually improve everything they had.

I still stick with what I have though.

Safari on Windows
Chrome on Mac
Firefox on Ubuntu

Wouldn't mind trying it, but I wouldn't give up Fire Fox for anything.

 

[InfiniteJest]

Chrome is just sexy for me

 

[Garfiun]

I am going to try it soon, im trying to settle with a web browser.

I hope once most IE users on XP update to Windows Vista or 7. They also update to Internet Explorer 9 since it might lead to less bounce rates for web 2.0 and more modern websites like Youtube, etc or fewer general forum complaints because of a website loading slowly which IE8 and previous versions of IE are famous for slowing down your PC and making websites feel slower compared to Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari.

Plus, older versions of IE are not always very web 2.0 standards friendly in my experience.

AHHHH!


That means that not everyone will be updating to IE9... I was hoping it would get rid of IE8, then all us web designers would not have to make 8 billion changes to get rounded corners to work.

I have experienced this, which is why I chose to go with Fire Fox for all my browsing wants and needs. I like IE, but the fact of the matter is it makes all sites slow down, whether that's their original nature or not. FF is ten times better and it loads a lot faster.

Right so microsoft make a browser that doesn't even support there operating system? Epic fail.
