[Hard_ROCKER]

Does not work here either.

oh okay, I should have read your post half an hour ago, would have avoided an uninstall/re-install of IE9 ...for nothing

edit: okay but on the other hand, if you don't have Windows Live Essentials installed, that's normal...not sure if you have it.

[Hard_ROCKER]

Hey Logos !

No i don't have Windows Live Essentials installed. But i will install it and report back in a few minutes ok ?

Nope still the same. Not working.

Hi IE9 testers,

How does this browser perform on kraken? http://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.com/kraken-1.0/driver.html

kraken takes too long to complete, with any browser, + I suspect Mozilla of having optimized Kraken for Firefox >>> some of them (@ Mozilla) are already saying that sunspider is not relable Firefox 4.0b7pre is actually performing better now, on Sunspider, as I mentioned in my first post here, but the problem is that it's still browsing the web slowly (when compared to Chrome, Opera or IE9)...which make me wonder about the tricks they may have used to fool sunspider...just guessing, this is really weird.

 edit: we're talking about speed and performance in general here, not security, and not "noscript".

Hi Logos,

We do not talk security, kraken is about browser speed testing, and Opera is faster there then the Fox.
Also would be nice to test from the various test pages here whether all these bugs from the past have now left IE9 version of the browser? One could test these IE-bugs here:
http://www.echoofeden.com/digest/mit/2007/06/11/ie7-uncle-double-class-selector-bug/
http://adlib.ozonecreations.com/random/ie_param_bug.html
http://www.priddypictures.co.uk/reference/fileInputProblem.htm
http://www.miranda-pack.com/msie7-bug.html
http://janus.space23.net/alpha.html
http://www.mjslib.com/bugs/ie-alphafilter-mousebug/
http://www.priddypictures.co.uk/reference/CtrlClickTest.htm
http://www.sunky.org/overflow-y.html
etc. etc.
Work-arounds are not being included,

[Hermite15]

yeah, that's how I meant it when I started the thread, not about security, to avoid any misunderstanding 

...also, where did you get that list of links to test? are you compiling them?

[polonus]

Hi Logos,

The list is from here: http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/explorer_7/index.html

Also interesting is what I have added as txt - a Firekeeper alert to a "nice" IE-location host alteration attempt, stopped in it's tracks,

Some of the links don't even work (2,5,&6) and none of the bugs except the first one show in IE8 unless you put it in Compatibility mode. I don't understand the first one because it looks to me that he is telling the colors to change and then is surprised that they do. On the next to last one, who ever does ctrl-click anyway? The tests are for IE7, apparently most of them were fixed in IE8.

I can't get it installed at all on my main system. (Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit)
Crashes continually and tries to restart. The only way to break the cycle is to
kill the whole tree in Task Mgr. but that also prevents me from opening any folders....
Back on IE8 (which isn't used.) Default browser is Chrome.

Okay, what is all that code about? I don't get it.  If it's kraken, I didn't even attempt that. What I was talking about were the links Polonus posted.
