so, Internet Explorer 9

[hh5]

when it came out ... it didn't let twitter nor FB to run ... I tried everything to get it to run .. it was a waste to load it up

 

I was getting use to IE8 ... it also had issues with the above but at least I found the override ... to make it work

I was very happy with IE7??

 

so, I had to reload my os from backups to avoid the issue of removing IE9 ...

 

recently Win Update forces you to update if u didn't catch it in time to prevent it from installing because they made it a critical update ...

 

oh now it works ... no more complaints ... but one ... it crashes sometimes ... its quirky ... it slow or bit unresponsive ... i don't use IE in general unless a website is dying to need it

 

I am happy with chome or firefox ...

 

if someone wants to add a poll .. please do so ..

I'm no expert. All I know is: Firefox works great for me.

Once again: let someone else be Microsoft's Beta tester.

 

Wait 6 months or a year and then use the product once the bugs have been worked out.

They will make you use IE9 in Win 8 ... they want to sever the old in order to get HTML5 ... the adobe Flash killer up and running

You have options. Use Firefox or Chrome.

I found that IE9 was very unresponsive and ran like a dog. So I've went with chrome. There are a lot less issues with it than IE.

how old is your laptop? mine is six years old

It's actually a desktop running a dual core 3ghz processor, 8gb of ram and running with a ssd disk. I still find IE9 to be a drag, even on that platform.

[hh5]

off topic question ... does it have VT HW on the chip? sounds like it can run VMWare better than my laptop

Yes, it has hyper threading. But I wouldn't consider VMware for use, I'd rather use hyper-v

[hh5]

oh i meant hardware emulation on the chip made for use of hyper-v ... it makes virtual run like real time

I'm not 100% sure, but I do know the system has a hardware hyper visor. It lets me run hyper-v. I've got 2008/R2 enterprise installed as the base OS.

[hh5]

cool ... I think I tried amd 64bit but only up to 2008R1 .. no hv ... i was suffering from bad cables and seagate drives showing they are of poor quality

Hyper-v is cool. Let's me do all the development I want
