Download IE9 Beta here
(Sync bookmarks from Chrome to IE9 instructions at the bottom of this page)
Great new minimalist interface, favourite sites page, integrated security features - everything Opera, Chrome and Firefox have been doing better than IE is now turned on its head. IE9 Beta is fast too, thanks to hardware acceleraton.
Who's using it?
Note: not seeing the smilie icons on the 'write a post' page.

I heard from a friend of mine in a pc store saying IE 9 will be twice as fast.

It's certainly fast - definately Chrome fast, maybe faster. I'm browsing via a 2.5Mbps+ 3G connection and pages appear instantly/in 2-3s but it's the new W7-style UI I like the best. And the Security features that warn you about dodgy webpages which is built-in not an extension. It's database is still being filled at present but it shows Microsoft is on the right track - finally. If WP7 gets this sort of design quality built-in it should be a cracker.

It doesn't offer to import bookmarks. I've just manually added a few sites.

I can see the smilies in the thread though.
Back to manually typing BBcode - not necessarily a bad thing. The shortcuts were making me lazy.
Perhaps the missing smilies is something Laffen could tweak
IE9 has a break-symbol to the right of the 'one box' address bar which switches into IE8 compatibility mode in case you find a page which won't work properly, and it remembers to switch into compatibility mode each time you return to that page - nice,

Nothing odd here, just the missing BBcode shortcut icons on the Post reply page, otherwise everything renders well. Are you using W7 or Vista?

Windows 7 Premium 64 bit. Everything is fine except when I type the box window is too the right and the smilies go off to the left of the screen as I type. Odd. Edit. Chat more tomorrow mate I gotta go sleep now. Thanks for that
