Internet Explorer 9 Beta is coming September 15th. Those of you interested can hit the link to get signed up for the beta (Windows Vista or 7 only need apply).
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
I wish Microsoft would stop trying to make browsers and leave it for the pros to do.

I might get it just to compare speeds and also see how many security features I can lock down so the browser becomes unusable lol.
I've compiled a list of web pages I've visited using Internet Explorer:
www.getfirefox.com
End of list.
Yeah, Microsoft should just stop making browsers, a market where they are STILL doubling up their closest competitor. And they might as well stop making OSes for x86 machines also since they are even further ahead in that market.
Sounds like you still think IE is IE6.
The interface still looks like shit and tabbed browsing is garbage.

Put Chrome or Firefox on Windows right from the factory and tell me how many people won't switch? IE owns a large share because NO ONE KNOWS OF OTHER BROWSERS. Most people have a hard time double clicking, what makes you think they're going to search for other browsers? A lot of people use IE simply because it's the only browser pre-installed on Windows. I would LOVE to see this done and watch IE take a nosedive.

The addition of Direct2D and DirectWrite hardware acceleration is probably what's given FF4 and IE9 their massive advantage.
Wow. A browser fanboy. How pathetic. IE, Firefox, and Chrome are all fine browsers.
This right here. There's little point in being a browser or OS fan boy these days, they are all good now.
I wish people who didn't understand enterprise computing would get a reasonable clue about how silly this sounds, but it isn't going to happen.I wish Microsoft would stop trying to make browsers and leave it for the pros to do.

I won't switch because quite frankly Firefox since Vista 64 bit has been pure garbage. Actually let me clarify. Firefox runs like complete crap and is very prone to crashing and locking up in 64 bit Operating Systems.Vista and Windows 7. How's that ?
Firefox went from being reliable and fast with some very neat features to a bug infested, utter piece of crap. Opera actually is a pretty neat little browser and it's fast but something about it just does not appeal to me, don't know what it just does not grab me.
Both IE7 and IE8 just work, no tweaking or cussing required. I'd love to see Firefox get back to where it was as I like having options. With all the crap that google has been pulling lately I have no desire to try Chrome.

PEBKAC I've yet to have Firefox crash on any of my computers
I use Firefox, Chrome and Opera. I'm not sure where you got the idea that I'm a fanboy. Calm down, boy.
You come off as a fanboy. You post your thread by telling me I'm stupid and then call me a boy? Why don't you just go away ? I'm done.

Ever try to deploy Firefox in a corporate environment?
Ever try to set up the browser so that everyone has the controls the same way, and access to what they need, but not the things they could accidentally screw up their machines with?
Ever try to set up a method to keep a browser like Firefox updated for non-administrative users when an update comes out to fix a security flaw?
See, with IE, you can do that --relatively easily. With Firefox, not so much.
I love Firefox --but every time I hear this tired-old anti-MS rant, I know I'm dealing with someone that doesn't understand the core of enterprise-level computing, which, by the way, is where Microsoft actually makes their money. It's pretty clear that (while they aren't perfect) they know far more about it than you do.
I often go to a place where the try to use firefox and it is horrendous. You logon to one computer to check you're emails and then log off and go to another room. Almost always it says "a copy of firefox is already running" and refuses to open. Then it doesn't have updates for flash so youtube doesn't work, and it goes on...
But you have to travel to san fransisco to join the beta program?
