First thing I noticed is how clean and fast it is compared to ie8

EDIT: cant find the search bar!

gurusan · 15 Sep 2010 at 18:21

hmm it just crashes over and over as soon as I fire it up :/

I'll second that, and my first impressions are, for beta 1, it's good.

Does anyone know how to install it alongside IE8? I've downloaded the installer and run that, however it has just replaced IE8.

Just got it now.

Same.

This is really quick!

Cosimo · 15 Sep 2010 at 19:16

That is very fast. Favourites and search window are now transposed.

Tried it on chrome 7 Beta, I gave up after some 5 minutes of waiting LOL

Can anyone confirm if there is a smooth scroll option in IE9? I'm quite impressed so far, but I really need smooth scroll!

haha

Also how cool is it you can drop favourite sites onto the taskbar. Also if you right click you have new tweet/dms/news posts etc

Fine here but the address link bar in the bottom right is peeing me off.

Don't like it at all, the layout is plain awful compared to IE8, adding the favourites bar back in makes it ugly too, quite why they felt it appropriate to place the Home and Favourites icons all the way over on the right hand side is odd too, it's completely at odds with the majority of website controls meaning they're miles away.
