I am trying out the new IE9 and I have to say it is a vast improvement. It seems as fast as Chrome but it has vastly more functionality. I suppose its target competitors are, in the main, the heavy duty high functionality browsers such as Firefox and Opera and to a lesser extent the less functional high speed browsers such as Chrome and Safari.
Its functionality is pretty impressive including “Blog This” using Windows Live Writer which means you don't have to use the ghastly Blogger interface. I’m drafting this using Live Writer. And there are lots of other nice bits including a Google tool bar, a Button Bar like Chrome and a nice spell checker, ideal for ham-fisted typists like me.
But it doesn't do everything perfectly, which is only to be expected as it is still in Beta version, so don't un-install your existing browsers quite yet. It seems fairly stable though if a bit slow in some of its bells and whistles. Hopefully all will be ironed out when the final version is released.
