Re: Internet Explorer 9 Beta

?FWIW, I downloaded IE9 Beta on Sept. 15th and have had virtually
trouble-free performance. It is much faster than IE8, especially when using
accelerators. My OS is W7, 32 bit.

Realizing that there was risk involved, I retained my W7/IE8 on an external
HD and can switch back to it at any time during the boot sequence. I will
retain these two configurations until IE9 becomes final, then I'll clone
that configuration from my "C" drive to the external HD and use it as my
primary W7/IE9 backup.

I also retain an XP/IE8 configuration on my second internal HD in case I
find problems with W7 (which I've only had for 2-3 months - so far so good).

This may sound like a lot of extra hardware but 320G HDs are about $50, a
SATA-3 external enclosure is about $35 and good clone software is cheap or
free.

My advice is try IE9 Beta if you have a good clone backup, but if you don't,
don't risk it.

It looks like IE 9 in Beta form is available.

Will this version be delivered through updates?

I am wonderng if it might be best to wait untill the Beta trial is
complete and a stable version is issued before installing.

Any thoughts.

Thanks

?Same here, IE9 beta is much faster then IE8. Running on windows 7 32bit.

Hi Folks
I see you have the IE9 Beta. Although IE9 is a Beta Release at this time I think you will get a sense of how well the browser performs and complies with Web standards. We hope everyone enjoys the IE9 Beta.
