If you're seeing any crazy issues with the IE9 RC, please continue to submit feedback through the right channels [1]. However, I will be monitoring this thread too. Also, I wanted to express my thanks to the news.yc community - I saw some great commentary when Beta shipped, and some neat bug reports too, thanks for helping shape up IE9! :-)<p>[1] <a href="http://connect.microsoft.com/" rel="nofollow">http://connect.microsoft.com/</a>
Unfortunately I despise IE too much at this point to ever bother trying to use it again as my main browser. You made us all suffer too much over the years, sorry guys.
Fingers crossed that they do it right this time. Right now I informally group browsers to test into four groups: IE6, IE7, IE8, and all the rest (where it's rare to find inconsistencies or WTFs). It would be great if IE9 went into the "all the rest" category.
I hope someone hacks it to work on XP by the end of the year (even without acceleration) so I can figure out what additional workarounds have to be done to all my stylesheets.<p>Hmm, maybe browsershots will eventually list it.
Heads-up for those with a penchant for ignoring the small print... IE9 RC will replace IE8... iow, there's no obvious way to install them side-by-side. As if anyone would really want to do that /sarcasm.
Can someone from microsoft tell me why they can't allow us just install IE6/7/8/9 side by side so we can test in them?<p>And no ... running a VM is not an acceptable option.
Alas, a restart was required. Hopefully watch.slingbox.com will work correctly now. In the past, I had to restart the browser when navigating to watch my slingbox.
