hdood Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Damn right. I have no idea why some are making such a fuss about this. I'm sure Microsoft can manage just fine on their own. ;) My secret dream is to be internet police.

keysteele Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 This build seems alot faster then the last build, quite impressed to be honest. So far I've been a diehard chrome user, but this is starting to give me second thoughts.

gahbmwM5 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 The update you got through Windows-Update has nothing to do with this build. It's just stability fixes while this version in this thread is new-build. Yes indeed...however, this 'leaked build' seems to be only for Win7....I have WinVista_32-bit, and get this: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/955620-internet-explorer-9-beta-9080276000-leaked/page/5/#findComment-593422876 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gahbmwM5 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Interesting links and thanks too...I have Windows Update on and have semi_ reviewed all my installs (past) patches (a ton of patches-lol), and it only picks up Windows Live Essentials & Windows Live Essentials 2011_Beta So I'm pretty sure that my system is patched properly, as I just tried all the KBs (linked above) and they all popped up after trying to install them... Does Not Apply To Your System... Really do not want to format, as I will just wait for the next RC for IE9_Beta--->Windows Update did pick up on the recent 'Stability Patch for IE9_Beta 9.0.7930.16406CO' which I have installed...

George P Global Moderator Posted November 25, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted November 25, 2010 Really the RC shouldn't be far away, before the holidays probably. If I had to take a guess I'd say 2nd week of December.

Deo Domuique Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 IE got very nice boost but I got for first time, honestly, nice Tab Crashes.

George P Global Moderator Posted November 26, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2010 Any indication when the final will be released (or RC)? No solid dates yet but everyone is expecting the RC in Dec and the final, if nothing goes wrong, in January probably. I'd say mid-Feb at the latest.

osm0sis Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 IE got very nice boost but I got for first time, honestly, nice Tab Crashes. Agreed. I've been using the Public Beta and now this Internal Beta and though the latter is doing better than the former, it still crashes when you close a tab halfway through loading; a pretty big bug. Hopefully the RC in the next couple weeks will clear that up, however.

.Neo Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 My main problem with the interface is that it seems fake for some reason. It's like a facade that can peel off at any second. As if some amateur hacked it together or something, extremely unfinished and quirky feel to it. Not sure how to describe it otherwise and I'm really hoping it will change before it hits the final version. If I have to compare Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7 to Safari 5 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Safari 5 feels more solid while they're both the flagship browsers on their respective operating systems. When it comes to loading pages Internet Explorer 9 does things a noticeable fraction faster, which is nice. Not always though. Animations on Mac OS X always are executed more smoothly than on Windows Vista / 7.

Oz. Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 "fake"? "futuristic" is the word that you're looking for :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/955620-internet-explorer-9-beta-9080276000-leaked/page/5/#findComment-593438234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Nope. The back/forward buttons look like some ungodly abortion of longhorn + metro combined, the tab bar looks like it was quickly moved next to the addressbar with no extra consideration (some things about it just look "wrong", like how the tabs are ever so slightly shorter vertically then the addressbar, the weird white line separating the toolbar from the page, the wierd cutoff back button) The UI ideas could be good in concept but right now it seems totally unpolished to me. And the tabs and addressbar in the same row would work a lot better with space saving features like opera's tab stacks or firefox's tab candy. It just looks like someone took an aero frame and slapped back/forward buttons, addressbar, tab bar, and a few more buttons and called it a day. The UI can be great but it really does need more work. I do definitely like how much more responsive the UI is compared to IE8 and firefox 4 though.

Denis W. Veteran Posted November 29, 2010 Veteran Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'm not totally sold on IE9's UI either. The obvious first fix would be to make the favourites bar look flush with the tab bar instead of the 'native' Aero toolbar background. Also in this build, IE9 selectively enables Y axis subpixel rendering (what DirectWrite does) on some sites and disables it on others. Why?

I agree that the favbar needs some work to better match the rest, as for the back button etc, dunno what the thinking was but it probably won't change much if at all.
