Microsoft Releases IE9 Preview 2

[Donuts]

You do realise it is just a preview of the engine with a minimal interface. Even trying to compare it with Opera and Firefox is just stupid. Mind you, stupid seems to be a requirement for comments on this forum. Oh but wait, AlphaIsBetaIsFinal™. Go back to /. fosstards.

Hopefully it beats Firefox for once. or.. anything other than it's past self.

Here we go again. Another upgrade looming on the horizon.

Lookign forward to a new version, i will wait till a demo that can browse to see it's effects though.

Let's hope this will appease a few more techies than the last couple of IE revisions, I as a "normal" user (occasionaly make a website or two) don't have much of a problem with the current version, but for those on slower PC's and those who develop websites all day long will hope for a better experience no doubt. (apart from fanboi's who will attack MS regardless lol).

Gogogogo New IE ^^

Chrome = no frills
IE = Load 'em up, honey. We're going for a ride.
Firefox = I'm hot. Look at me. I use Firefox.
Safari = I like Apple because I'm supposed to.

Apparently you and I don't have the same experience.

And then again, sites only work in IE because programmers have to write tweaks into the code specifically for it to render correctly in IE. But that affects performance.

I always have a lot of tabs open. Always more than 50, more often than not close to 100. If you stick to a non efficient page design because of IE not being compliant to the standards, despite it's marketshare, you are slowing down the whole web experience.

I truly do prefer to have a bigger e-penis in this case. It actually works better in this case.
