Running it sandboxed and it's quite sluggish like that, runs fine outside the sandbox. I quite like it but i will be sticking to Chrome.

okay thanks for that, this should be needed as IE9 crashes sometimes with flash sites, at least those with pages heavily populated with flash content.

runs fast sandboxed too here...and better than IE8 anyway that use to crash off and on because of the java plugin when sandboxed.

 >>> how come the page linked by Polonus shows a Mozilla agent ???

edit: same here ??? http://show-ip.net/browserinfo/

(chrome shows a mozilla agent too but it's always been like that while Opera shows Opera)

explanations here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2010/03/23/introducing-ie9-s-user-agent-string.aspx

@ Polonus >>> it's always been like that, with IE8 and IE7 too...I just had no idea as I didn't use them at all, so that's no big news at all, just in case you were looking for sensational news and post it here ;D

IE has always shown as Mozilla in every version because the original base was developed by Mozilla.

Mosaic and Mozilla. There are core elements from both present in all browsers. The Mozilla tag just promotes compatibility.

Actually, yes it did. The first release of Netscape Navigator was in late 1994 and it was tagged as Mozilla. They invented the name.

 Okay..DCH, I know all that, I've used Netscape and Firefox code comes from it...just the Mozilla tag as such couldn't exist in 95 when IE came out, as Mozilla, the company, didn't exist...

Internet Explorer 1 debuted on August 16, 1995. It was a reworked version of Spyglass Mosaic, which Microsoft had licensed, like many other companies initiating browser development, from Spyglass Inc. It came with Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95 and the OEM release of Windows 95. It was installed as part of the Internet Jumpstart Kit in Plus!.[10] The Internet Explorer team began with about six people in early development.[11][12] Internet Explorer 1.5 was released several months later for Windows NT and added support for basic table rendering. However, by including it for free on their OS, they did not have to pay royalties to Spyglass Inc., which resulted in a lawsuit and a multi-million USD settlement.

I'm running it now on my Win7 x64 Desktop and my Win7 x32 Laptop. Cool browser. Very nice for a Beta.
Finally Microsoft is doing it right with IE.
Of course it's not going to replace Opera for me but it has some nice features, security wise like the Download Manager, protected mode and the SmartScreen filter that checks downloads. IT really improves security over the other browsers when downloading files.
