If only you could move the favourites button back to the left side.. it really drives me up the wall on the right.
For years i've been using the left like everyone else!

I had to install in safe mode with networking as the PC froze on "closing programs".

You don't need to uninstall the RC, the RTM will overwrite it.

I already noticed this in the RC: Compared to Safari 5 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard dragging tabs around seems really jerky and awkward with Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7. There's also a bug when you tear off a tab and Aero Snap is accidentally activated you can't put it back into the original window anymore. You have to drop it, tear off the tab in the newly created window again and then place it back.

One would think Microsoft could come up with animations that are a lot smoother than this considering it's their own browser and operating system?

They could have cleaned up the internet options window a bit as well...

the error message i received was something to the effect of "a more recent version is installed'

just to check in About Internet Explorer the version number is 9.0.8080.16413
Update Versions: RC

Only thing that still bugs me is the outdated, cluttered options windows. I know most users won't ever open it up, but it just seems like a very outdated way of doing it. Other than that its pretty sweet and very simplistic. (perfect for novice users)

I am extremely impressed by this release. The UI is really fast, intuitive, and the browser is just a pleasure to use. I was also pleasantly surprised by the installer. Instead of having the user restart the entire operating system is simple asks to shut down several applications, explorer.exe being one of the. Microsoft should have been doing this years and years ago, but better late than never. It's a huge improvement to the OS in general too, and I hope we'll be seeing even less mandatory restarts in the future.

EDIT: User above me said what I forgot to mention. Yep, that Options window is an outdated cluttered mess.

Works smoothly here, it just snaps into place again if you drag it back to an IE window. The Aero Snap issue I can confirm, though. It's probably a Snap bug, not an IE one.

To get rid of the gray border on Compatibility view sites:

Create a key in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer named "No3DBorder" and set it to 1.

My next trick will be to check out Speckie and see how it works, though I'm one of those people who doesn't really personally feel the need of a spell checker.
