Trying this now, happily munching away
Loving it. Feels like a finished product almost.
Only thing is the Download Manager doesn't show the download speed anywhereSlight oversight!!!
I have just discovered if you hover the cursor over the downloading file it will display the download speed.
Wow thats fast, 7 seconds too.
Done it and YouTube videos now play in full screen on a double click. Playback looks much better.
Doesn't pass http://acid3.acidtests.org/ i guess it is afterall a Beta so there is a bit of leeway here.

With the acidtest i get 97% each time on FF4, just that on mine the blue square is grey.
Just drag the IE tap onto the taskbar
Why are tabs to the right of the address bar & then nothing at the top? It makes no sense & looks horrid 
Am I the only person who thinks this looks stupid especially with more than 4 tabs open?
It is very quick though I will agree but the UI looks like it was made by a 2 year old with no sense & on smack.

hmm...95/100 in acid test. Hopefully it makes 100 by full release.
On a side note natwest online banking doesnt work with ie9 so far, just get the message: "The Internet browser you are using is not supported by online banking. Use the link below to see a complete list of the browsers we support." Guess I have to use opera just for that

I've downloaded the beta and boy is it quick, much faster than previous internet explorers... Impressed... UI will take some getting used too, but I do not like the favourites on the right... It seems so remote over there, same with the home button.
Also, didn't realise flash was 64 bit compatible now! Sweet!

natwest website working fine here on IE9
I don't like the UI in the BETA, it looks too compressed together, it's way off from the likes of TwentyTen in firefox or the Chrome stock UI.
The back button is too big as well.
It also made text on my secondary screen look weird, like as if cleartype was disabled even though t wasn't.
The speed of 9 was fine, it was inline with my latest Firefox but not as fast as Chrome 7 from the pages I browsed. Chrome loaded them faster.
I uninstalled it and won't bother with it either way.
