Is anyone else having a problem on here when clicking the "go to first unread post" or w/e it's called next to a threads title? Instead of jumping to the first new post since I was last in a thread it just goes to the top of the page.

Press Alt -> Tools -> Internet Options -> The "Settings" button next to Tabs -> Uncheck "Show previews for individual tabs..."

You can skip a step by using the gear icon in the upper-right. Internet Options is available in there now.

Is the 64-bit version actually 64-bit? All of the iexplore processes are running in 32-bit according to task manager...

it's the same as before, in your all programs menu there will be 2 listings,

Ya, it seems IE9b1 doesn't like something with my system because now I have a funky graphics glitch with any menus I click on. I might go back to IE8 in a few days, I dunno. It is nice and fast though and I like the performance.

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).

That's a good idea. I thought of it too... Gear>Send feedback. :)

Enabling InPrivate Filtering by default doesn't work any more. :(

I'm betting they moved the setting location somewhere else. You can hit Ctrl+Shift-F to turn it on when you start the browser until it's sorted.

I'm really liking IE9 so far.

Finally, a download manager. Too bad it doesn't show the download speed.

They had it in Windows Longhorn's Internet Explorer :p I don't know why they scrapped the idea until now. It didn't show the download speed either.

I simply can't use this.

There are far too many features that I consider to be vital to a Web browser that are missing here. Spell check? None. Saving a session when you close? Nope. Showing your download speed in the download manager? Not there. A password manager? Not on this browser.

Not only that, but for me it just doesn't operate well. It routinely misses keystrokes I've made when I'm typing into a field, and I have no clue why. Overall, it has a good look (but that could use a few tweaks, too, such as the tabs), but the functionality simply sucks. Maybe it renders things extremely well, too, but if it isn't easy to use and lacks common features, I ain't using it.

Sorry, Microsoft. You tried. But it seems like instead of starting from scrap you just threw a new coat of paint on it.

The browser automatically saves the session when you close. It does have autocomplete, so it has a password manager... just not the one you're looking for.

Has anyone noticed that when IE 9 32-bit version just crashes upon starting after having used the 64-bit version for a while? I also can't even open the download manager in the 64-bit version.

It has no password manager. A password manager allows you to manage your passwords. Saving passwords is not the same as managing them.

What... the... f*** is this? Installed and restarted my PC, got my PC booted back up and tried to load IE9 x32... Nothing loads at first. So I open Google Chrome (IE took approx. 5 seconds to start up, Chrome took less than 1 second) and it loaded my usual websites... I go back to IE 9 and refresh and bam the page loads.... slowly. I go to Neowin (I'm on IE9 right now) and everything renders slowly still! Ugh--- speed in IE9, where are you!? I'm hating the tab placement too... the UI is slick though, it's pretty, but they need to figure out what they're doing with this address bar and the tabs... they can't leave them there or I'm never going to switch back to IE full time.

Good effort Microsoft; much more to work on though. Hopefully by final release this will shape up to not only look better, but render faster and boot up quicker.

EDIT: Does anyone else get an issue on Facebook where it has a small window pop up saying you're using an "older version of Internet Explorer, please upgrade for best results on Facebook.com" or something like that?

      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).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
