Will You Use Internet Explorer 9?

[shakethebabyass]

Will you use the new Internet Explorer 9 beta on Sept. 15? I will be. I am an IE and Opera Fanboy.

ALSO, is this the real IE9 Interface?

[funkydude]

Bit early to say anything, but I'll definitely be trying it, and moving to it if the UI turns out to be good.

[dw426]

Not sure if that's the final interface or not. I'll be giving it a try, the only issue I have (and this may not still be true), is that if you move to another IE version, you can't revert. That happened with the move from IE 7 to 8, and I'm not fond of it. I have a guinea pig friend whom I go to for testing out new apps. He is very critical of IE, yet loves IE 8. He'll give me the straight scoop I'm sure before I take the plunge.

[YanK33]

is not the final interface but they will do the same as Google with a minimal window bars, they want the most viewing screen as possible and yes i will try it but only the final stable release so i need to wait until march or april at least.

[Noob]

Google Chrome FTW!!
Oh well too much fanboyism ;D

Now seriously, when they release it i will DEFINITELY download it, so when i use IE8 (Some sites compatibility etc.) it's faster, but i don't think i'll be replacing Chrome anytime soon :argh: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Of course I'll use it but not while in BETA

[AvinashR]

I am not gonna use IE9 and so on ... I mostly rely on Mozilla Firefox and SRWare IRON ..

[progress]

-{ Quote: "SRWare IRON .." }-

But IRON is an outdated Google Chrome, take care :-\

[AvinashR]

-{ Quote: "But IRON is an outdated Google Chrome, take care :-\" }-

I know, and thanks for reminding me once again... But IRON is Sandboxed ..

Also my system is Default-Deny protected.. EMET 2.0 is also there. Last but not least, i mostly use Firefox. :)

[safeguy]

No idea...honestly:P Let's see how things go but I doubt IE will ever take back the "default browser" crown on my PC...

[Woodgiant]

I will definitely use IE 9, and hope that they still Improving on the security, but I will whait using IE9 until is has been out of beta for a time. ;)

Best Regards

[blacknight]

No.

1 Microsoft won't lead use it with XP.
2 I need IE only for security updates, so I'm not interested to his developments.

[Mr.PC]

I will try it, but I do NOT expect IE9 to be so greatly improved that I return to it.
I belong to the millions of users who ditched IE and have used another browser since the era of Netscape Navigator. :D

[vasa1]

I don't like the forced upgrade from XP.

After all, it's optimising use of hardware.

I understand that Chrome will be having hardware acceleration without the forced upgrade from XP to whatever.

[m00nbl00d]

I haven't followed the platforms previews, so I don't know what will be new or not, but I do hope that Microsoft finally decides to make it possible to have different profiles!
It makes me crazy not to see a browser allowing different profiles!

[YanK33]

why people want to stick with XP forever? i know is a very good and stable but we have 7 now ;D

[dw426]

-{ Quote: "why people want to stick with XP forever? i know is a very good and stable but we have 7 now ;D" }-

Not to derail this thread, but some just like it. I love Windows 7 performance, I hate everything else about it though. Yeah, I said that. Given enough time, a person can change their attitude about something.

@Mr PC: God how I loved Navigator :thumb:

[Carver]

Back on topic I will be trying IE9 but I reserve IE9's use of the title "Default" till it comes out in non-beta form whenever that is. Microsoft has a habit of delaying the release of software.

[progress]

No - I will use FF :)

[shakethebabyass]

I am one of the minority who loved IE7. I cannot stand IE8 and if I could downgrade to 7 on Windows 7 I would do so. I have always also loved opera but totally skipped the version 9's all together and LOVE version 10.60 and 70 which I am using.

I think Opera is often overlooked and it is a browser that has lots of potential. I will give IE9 a chance of course because I do love the browser that is compatible with pretty much every site when it is final.

I am glad XP is cut from the compatibility. I think it is well time to move on. Windows 7 is by far the best of the best. I wish more people would give it a chance and let XP rest in peace. I hate to see Vista go before XP.. weird.

I love reading all the replies and I don't mind criticism.. we are all different so bring it on!

[Daveski17]

I'll upgrade when I have to. I will probably only open IE9 in IE Tab in Chome/Iron anyway.

[xandros]

internet explorer 9 when its not beta i will download it and some times i will use it , but i always use firefox & opera & wyzo & comebird

[Ibrad]

No I will not.

[twl845]

I won't download the beta because Microsoft has enough bugs to contend with in the final releases, so why get more bugs voluntarily. If the statement that the toolbars will be minimal like Chrome is true, that will be a welcome change. The toolbars take up almost 25% of the screen in IE8.

[YanK33]

i really think IE9 will surprise too many of us watch out FF fan boys lol

[Daveski17]

-{ Quote: "i really think IE9 will surprise too many of us watch out FF fan boys lol" }-

Now, that's what I call optimism!

[wtsinnc]

I will not use it because I'm sticking with XP.
I don't really care if that's the real interface, but I voted "yes".

[dw426]

-{ Quote: "Now, that's what I call optimism!" }-

That's what I call...well, never mind what I'd call it. I just have to wonder if that statement was the result of being a fanboy as well.

How about waiting till it comes out.

[noone_particular]

I will not be using or trying IE9. All but one of my Windows OS has had IE removed. The only MS software I'm using is the operating systems themselves, all of them stripped of excess components and modified.

[microbial]

I've got IE8 set up just the way I like it. I hope it's not going to be a major headache transferring my privacy settings over to IE9. Wait & see...

Well that eliminates my deciding whether to download it or not. ;D I can see what they mean just looking at the prospective home page layout. It has a Vistaish look to it. I'm still not buying a new computer with WIN7 for about a year, so I'll be keeping my IE8 albatross until then.

Thanks :)

I loved IE, I used IE7 since alfa version, besides daily craches, till IE8, but I moved to Chrome and I am not looking back. I am no longer going to excuse IE for mistakes, when I have all I need in Chrome (like syncs on any PC for bookmarks, all settings and exts, updated flash, simplicity and security without any extra effort). But, I might look at IE9.

[ExtremeGamerBR]

No, I use SRWare Iron. :thumb:

[Tarnak]

I never progressed to IE7, let alone...;D

[xxJackxx]

That interface has no title bar text, no status bar, and lacks too many other things to be real. I do plan on using it, unless that actually is the interface.

[mrgigabyte]

just for windows updates thats it , love firefox

[TonyW]

I would have voted, but I don't understand the "Yes It is" & "No It isn't" parts of the poll.

To answer, yes I will use IE9.

[YanK33]

-{ Quote: "Now, that's what I call optimism!" }-have something else to say today the day IE9 has born and no question a big impact in the web browsing war ;)

[The Hammer]

I'll be using it.

[AKAJohnDoe]

I just installed it to run alongside Firefox 4.0 Beta 6. I had previously uninstalled IE8 (under Windows 7, Programs and Features, Turn Windows features on or off), so this is a clean install. My initial response is favorable.

mine too, this is an awesome first beta release i cant wait for the next spring to have the final stable official version, but right now this thing is fast and i love the way it handle the web pages.

[blacknight]

I just said that I'm not concerned with IE and IE 9. But even if I was, now not more ! Microsoft seems to force the users to upgrade to 7, indeed many users and companies don't have reason to do it and don't want.

No problem for XP: we have Opera, FF, Chrome... if Microsoft wanted IE to lose again users, this is the right step. We don't need IE 9.

But rather to use Seven because forced, I would switch to Linux. Konqueror, for exemple, is a very nice browser. :)

" }-IE9 have full integration with W7 people have to understand that they are making new software using new technologies if you like old softwares you have too many options but sooner or later you have to move on to the latest standards of the technology industry :thumb:

[Page42]

I'm very interested in IE9, and if it's true that XP won't be included in the IE9 party, then I may have to follow the course that MS plotted for me, and abandon XP for 7. I may even use it as an excuse to buy a couple new boxes. :o

[codylucas16]

I will not use it. I use Windows, that's the only thing made by M$ I will install on my PC

[Kerodo]

I tried it for a few days, but went back to Chrome. I just like Chrome better overall, although it's nice to have an x64 browser around now.

[Warlockz]

Your poll doesn't make any cents, how can I vote no, and then tell you what the UI is going to look like :wacko:

yes i check it on my vista i give it a try also firefox 4 looking very good and promising i love to install that one too :)

;D I'm very curious to learn which " new technologies " make really NEW Seven: no WinFS, no a really new kernel....the only one OS that could be innovative, Longhorn, never born.

Who says that XP SP3 is old ? And why ? Only for Aero and impossible UAC...Very deep technologies.

p.s.: as I already wrote, I have Seven, licensed, but I don'tl ike it and I don't use.

[Joan Archer]

I'm using it now and like it, it's clean looking and fast plus the other features are still there if you need them but so far the only toolbar I have is Roboform.

It works at my bank site and as for my shopping site that just needs to be run in Compatibility mode for now, but apart from that so far so good.:thumb:

[Osaban]

I like it, fast and secure; it is still a beta, and the final release will be better, but on my Vista machine Chrome is just perfect.

Try to be a bit polited. I'm not your pupil. Luckily: I know all this, but..what's ? No new, real kernel ( Windows never had a real complete kernel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing) ), no substantial new features or options respect XP. Only some non relevant changes, Aero, and a restyling.

Ok, sorry for my intrusion in IE fan boys club. ;D

-{ Quote: "No new, real kernel ( Windows never had a real complete kernel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing) )" }-
Going by your interesting definition of "new", neither Linux nor Mac OS X has had a "new, real" kernel for years now.

There's no such thing as an OS only qualifying as "new" only if it contains a kernel that meets your frivolous definition of "new" and "real". That's just nonsense you pulled out of thin air.

-{ Quote: "no substantial new features or options respect XP. Only some non relevant changes, Aero, and a restyling." }-
Again, some very *ahem* interesting definitions of "substantial", "new", and "relevant" you've got there. The good old strategy of "moving the goalposts", I see.

Bottom line is, feel free to stick to an almost decade-old OS, your choice. If technological progress and innovation scares you, feel free to stay away, your choice as well. Just don't expect the rest of the world to stand still and wait for you.

A lot of nice words and hardware promises. I used Seven - with a new machine - and I again look for discover all these wonders, special effects, and great performances.

See my previous posts. ( 66 ). I would want to see and to touch all the technical wonders of Seven. Anyway, I expect that Microsoft don't try to force the users to upgrade the OS every few years; technically is well knowed that there is the way to make XP IE-compatible, but Microsoft won't do it. Why ? Soon I'm afraid Microsoft will declare old and outdated IE 8, so to force all the users to buy Seven.

Anyway, as I said, I need IE only for security updates. It was and is always late respect others, much better Browsers.

The topic is not more interesting for me, I go out. Best wishes to IE an to his fan boys. ;D ;D One day may be they will discover Opera, FF, Chrome....

[Eice]

Don't worry, you're not missing much anyway, there's no substantial new features or options in IE9, just some non-relevant changes. Enjoy your decade-old OS!

You are entitled to see MS as a money making machine: they have never denied their profit oriented endeavours, which in a free market economy is the most adopted business model (see non-profit organizations as a specific label).

Well, there are alternatives (Linux, Apple), but if MS business model was really so unfair, over the years we would have seen some kind of clear decline (as a matter of fact, they've lost a few percentage points), and they have paid very expensive highly publicized anti trust fines.

XP is a great OS, but in a few years time a lot of third party applications won't work with it, the product will increasingly work "as is" and you can't expect MS to put more research into something that is outdated.

using IE9 right now at least on my machine is the fastest, i know i dont have any plugin thats helps to make it quicker but is damn fast, even faster than Chrome with all the extensions disabled and the mouse scroll is like butter for only a 1st beta is oustanding good, i highly recommend you to give it a try.

[Noob]

I updated my comptuer IE8 to IE9.
But i will continue using Google Chrome anyways. ;D

[xMarkx]

I will use Internet Explorer 9 when it is out of beta and available through Windows Update as an official release.

[SIR****TMG]

Yes I will

[Rampastein]

Not, as I'm using XP and I prefer Firefox with ABP and Noscript.

[ExtremeGamerBR]

Installed it and i can say that it is very good finally IE 9 can compete. but imo Chrome still ruleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez my browsing ;D :thumb: :thumb:

[dw426]

You know, my interest in it was there as we awaited the public release. But, as of now, I've still yet to download it, and I'm having a hard time caring. I'm not anti-IE, I'm just so used to daily surfing with FF that I haven't felt a need for IE9.

[funkydude]

Still using it as my main browser and patiently awaiting beta 2 (probably november 15th-19th).

[NoIos]

I use daily IE, Opera and Chrome. So, yes I'll go on using IE.

[Noob]

Even in Beta it gets very very good ;D

BTW Chrome release Version 8! BWAHAHAHA off topic ::)

[c2d]

I'll try it but I don't think I'll use it regularly

I like Chrome and Firefox.

Using IE9 beta for favourites browsing (e.g. known websites in my favourites), Chrome 8 Dev for exploring browsing (with a GeSWall policy container, virtualisation redirect sandbox around it).

They both load cold within a sec.
