What do you think of Internet Explorer 9?

    Hey guys,

    Microsoft has just released Internet Explorer 9 Platform Preview. Have you tried it as yet? Do you think it will bring back the glory days of late 90s to Internet Explorer?

    As I've long said, IE9 will be years behind every other browser in modern standards and compliance. While Microsoft is bragging about the new features and "support", most of these features are things other browsers had years ago and other things are incomplete. For example, IE9 adds SVG yet only supports 28% of the spec and fails 18 of 28 tests. Other browsers have 100% supported SVG for over 10 years!

    It has no support for canvas and lacks support for box-shadow, transform, CSS gradients, CSS animations and others and only gets 55/100 on Acid3 while all the others get 100/100 or close to it.

    IE9 is not expected to be out till some time next year. If it does come out then, it will be an OK 5-year old browser, but all the other browsers will be 7 years ahead of that.

    iow, IE9 will continue to be the worst browser on the planet. If you want to get all the new features of IE9 and more right now, use ANY of today's browsers: Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari.

    No and Microsoft isn't saying when it will be. The best guess is sometime next year.

    I have been a Firefox fan for a long time and that probably will continue.

    I will never use IE as a browser anymore, other than to check websites I have built!

    Its slow to start, sluggish to run
