It would be nice if you could shrink the address bar down as far as it goes, which is about the same size as a tab, but then when you go to use it it would auto expand so you can read more of it. It doesn't seem to do that though, it would be nice. I have 8 tabs open atm, and it's fine really, a bit weird but if you don't really care about how small you make the address bar you have a good chunk of room (depending on your screen res and window size).

Stuff they need in Beta 2 -

* As said, website previews on new tab page

* Option to move buttons

* EXTENSIONS!

* A new UI for the bookmark manager/bookmarks bar... They look like they just got pasted on from IE8. Why can't they get a new UI :/

If I install the 64 bit version, will flash work?

Yes because installing the 64 bit version installs the both 2 bit and 64 bit versions of ie9 and 32bit is set to default. But you can use flash in 64 bit as of today:

lol, I get this on facebook!

You may want to upgrade your browser.

You're using an old version of Internet Explorer to

browse Facebook right now. Facebook will work better for you if you upgrade or

switch to another browser.

Upgrade to Internet Explorer 8

Switch to

Firefox

Switch to

Safari

Switch to Google

Chrome

Gotta say the one thing I still hate about IE is its password management is very bad compared to chrome, opera and firefox. It doesn't remember my user name and pass on many sites and it keeps logging me out of some as well. Oh yeah and no spellecheck. Suprised at the lack of that.

IE installation was not responding and failed. Then I restarted and it seems like it was installed. Things I don't like:

  • Back button being cut off (I'm sure they can fix this.)
  • Tab bar placement (Not much of a problem opening 8 tabs on 1920x1200 but it can be annoying on a laptop)
  • Lots of crashes.
  • Fonts look blurry, funky. Text doesn't display sometimes.

IE9 is working fine for me. Neowin actually didn't work for some time. It just wouldn't display anything.

On the first run IE asked me to disable add-ons. Actually I think this and the improvements make te navigation snappier.

Has anyone tried to download a file? Nice!

64bit installer installs both versions, also, go to adobe labs, they're FINALLY working on the 64bit flash plugin, i installed it and it works well

edit: something else i noticed, the send feedback is glitched, it says i don't have the windows live ID sign-in assistant installed, maybe it's just not compatible with the one from the windows live beta suite, if so they really need to fix this

That's by design, Windows Phone 7 and Zune has the same technique (although normally cut off at the top instead of bottom) - I imagine it's part of the Metro design language.

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).
