IE9 download available!


Recommended Posts

Like how the second ie9 beta is released it totally killed neowin haha.

I am using it now. Really like it so far. its fixed my biggest issues with IE:

UI responsiveness. Since IE7 the EI ui has always felt very unresponsive to me, especially stuff like opening new tabs. IE9's UI is very responsive. Firefox 4 has the least responsive feeling UI for me now.

OMG A DOWNLOAD MANAGER. WELCOME TO 2004 MS!!!1 :p. Hated the way downloads worked in ie7 and ie8. New dl manager is nice.

UI changes are great but could use some refinement. It has tab animations when you are moving tabs, but no open/close tab animation. It handles tearing off tabs better than firefox and opera, up there with chrome. In opera and firefox if I drag a tab to my second monitor it just opens the tab on the same monitor instead of where I dragged it which is annoying. Ie9 and chroem properly opoen it on the second monitor. Also When I drag a flash video tab thats palying into a new window it doesnt reload the video like firefox does.

Overall its great and is now very competitive with the other browsers.

Critisisms:

Doesn't seem to be any spellehceck? Come on ms everyone else has it...

Backforward buttons could be moved a bit to the left.

Sadly new tab page is less custmozable than chrome's, and far less than opera's more robust speeddial.

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
