New Official ATOT Nef Thread II

IE9 won't be available to download until midnight. Too bad I don't have my Technet subscription any longer.

IE9 sucks.

We'll see. I'll download it tomorrow and check it out.

Internet Exploder sucks, always has, always will.
They will never learn.
Never do.
Never will.

That's why alternatives are flourishing. Big time!

Not in the corporate world.

I had about twenty credit cards offers sitting around on my desk.

How unfortunate.

Pretty much this.

But I am fair. I installed IE9 RC. The download and installation took more than twice as long as Opera or Firefox.

 

[MotF Bane]

To complete the installation, it required a system restart. This system restart then included a number of Windows updates, adding a couple minutes to the total.

The load time to each page was impressive, faster than Opera 11 (an unremarkable browser, the older versions were better), and faster than Firefox (the safe browser). However, the rendering left much to be desired, words were fuzzy. My gaming FPS counter also picked up on IE9.

How unfortunate.

I've never seen a large corporation where IE wasn't the standard. And I've worked for huge corporations (Fortune 20).

With that being said, we deal with hundreds of universities and their browsers run the gamut. I'm technically supposed to test my stuff against IE, Firefox, and Safari.

 

[MotF Bane]

In scrolling on IE9, it left afterimages of superimposed FPS count. The faster the scroll, the higher the FPS - I hit 40.

 

[MotF Bane]

Closing the last tab is allowed - and closes the browser. Running multiple tabs opens multiple panels on the taskbar, which is extremely bothersome to my style.

I've only worked for one large workplace, and it was a university, where the standard is Firefox, and for the Apple users, Safari or Firefox.

Forcing professors to do anything is rather difficult.

IE9 also felt cramped horizontally as part of Microsoft's effort to minimize vertical space consumption.

 

[MotF Bane]

I do wonder why almost no corporation uses Internet Explorer. I've heard reasons of using an official Microsoft product, it comes installed, it's not open source (and that, by extension, open source is a bad thing), et cetera.
