Press Alt :p

I swear I didn't see the menu bar when I pressed ALT earlier, but now I see it... just takes a little while to come up :s

Also, a temporary fix to IE9 locking up Neowin is forcing software rendering in options.

On a pretty narrow screen (1280x1024) I gotta say I really, really detest the tab placement. It feels contra-intuitive and if you constantly have a lot of tabs (4+) open like me it's just a nuisance.

It installed fine and neowin is working fine as well, I dunno where people say they have problems with this site. One thing I've noticed is the lack of options but I'm guessing they'll add more back. I had a good number of tabs open when I closed IE8 and now those are gone, but I can remember them/get them back from my history. So far I like it really.

So far I've noticed the speed boost coming off of IE8 for sure, and I have Opera 10.60 installed as well, I'd say it's very close to that for me. I also like how, on the IE9 site when you go to install it, it says that future updates to IE9 will come via Windows Update! Unlike the IE8 betas where you had to totally uninstall those and then reinstall the new version, man that was a pain.

How to do I change the size of the address bar or at least allow it to make use of blank space?

Move your mouse pointer to the space between address bar and first tab and drag it all the way you want.

I kinda like the 'colour conscious' back and forward buttons, it changes colour based on the primary colour in the pinned favicon.

One thing I would like to see is the address bar and tabs on the same level, the way it is now doesn't feel right.

Online installer from http://www.beautyoftheweb.com/ is 2.4MB large and when launched downloads necessary components.

I'm downloading now from

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/download/ie-9/worldwide

It has 36MB. How can it not be offline installer?

It won't install on my system and I meet all the requirements and have all the prerequisites (and picked the correct version). Nice.

Disable any anti-virus or security suites if you have them.

Close any running IE(8) windows piror to installation. Now it should works.

It's a shame there is no option to move tabs under the address bar if you like to have many open, but I think they might have left this type of option out of beta 1 so they could get you to try pinning pages to the taskbar.

I noticed you have a custom Aero theme - I imagine that is the thing making it out of line.

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).
