you not been reading the thread then? the javascript engine is considerably slower in x64..... you only have to look up a few posts.

The website link flashing up in the bottom left is annoying the hell out of me. Have not got time to look through options, can it be moved to a status bar or something?

Love it, snappy and like the minimalist interface.
Actually Marc I have been reading the thread but you didn't read my post. Did I say anywhere in it I was using the JS engine? The JS engine being slightly slower really doesn't worry me as the amount of stuff I do that usese JS is very, very minimal. Flash on the other hand would have bothered me as most sites use this that I visit.

Just wish it had a decent built in spell checker like Chrome and good amount of extensions.
Are you actually using the x64 bit version though? Just because you downloaded and installed the x64 version doesn't mean that's what you are using. W7 x64 will use 32b IE by default. You have to specifically choose to launch x64 IE from the start menu:

So, choose 64bit and pin it to taskbar?
You are literally amazing
All I was saying is that not everyone knows that x64 Windows 7 has a seperate x64 browser and saying that you are using Ie9 x64 because you are using W7 x64 is incorrect.

Ahh, got you now
It's up to you. You don't have to use the IE9 x64 browser. Some people discourage it as plugins don't work the same (or at all). Personally, I've never had any issues apart from when I'm using Web Apps which rely on the browser version being x86

I wonder why Microsoft can't (or won't) make their latest browsers work with older version of their OS, Mozilla seem to manage it with Firesoft? 
Personally, I am perfectly happy with Firefox 4 RC1 - it even works with LINUX

Obviously they are trying to get you to spend more money by buying a new OS!

Can't believe people like the new UI layout :/ It just looks mashed together compared to all other browsers (IE8 included). not botherig with IE9 untill it's a critical requirement. Chrome and FF4 on all machines here.

Chrome is fast

Speed is much the same these days. Features are what makes the browser better over another for me.
