Microsoft launches Internet Explorer 9, its prettiest browser yet

Just installed it in my laptop (I've also installed SP1 on this laptop as an experiment). I actually have to say that IE9 looks very nice and runs very fast.

I'm still married to Firefox because I could never live without the NoScript and FlashBlock plugins.

Yeah, it's not so much that IE sucks at this point as much as it lacks the features that we've come to love. Which I guess means that it sucks.

I've been running SP1 at home and on the Wife's laptop with no problems. I installed IE9 on mine. It's pretty and fast but like you FP, I can't live without my plugins in FireFox. I'm guessing Firefox 4 will be as fast if not faster.

I'm a bit concerned installing IE9 on the Wife's laptop with GPU left on. Please let me know if your laptop remains stable FP.

just threw on W7 SP1 and IE9 today...only been using it for about an hour now, but IE9 seems like an improvement. slightly snappier and i like the new interface/icon positions. all of my (limited) add-ins carried over without problems.

I personally find it amusing that firefox4 fits in better (stylistically) with the new look of office 2010 than IE9 does...
