I downloaded Internet Explorer 9 today on its release having previously been running IE9 RCT the pre-release final version.
You may recall that I rated the Beta version quite highly but regrettably it only flattered to deceive. Over time it got slower and slower and wouldn’t run some things like RoboForm (an absolutely vital piece of software to tame your passwords) so in the end I gave it a miss and reverted to Firefox which although it has huge functionality looks like a junkyard dog and Chrome which doesn’t have much functionality but looks good.
So when MS announced the release candidate for IEP9 ( which looks great and has great functionality) I thought I would try it. And it has been very good: reliable, stable, quite quick (although not as quick as Chrome) and pleasingly convenient and good looking.
So far (today!) IE9 has lived up to the hype and seems even quicker than the release candidate. So is it smooth sailing or more tears before bedtime like so many MS products? Watch this space…I live in hope!
