if they stop producing IE then all non-tech users will move to other (better) browsers

It's paid placement because somebody is saying something you don't want to hear? Get over it — as much as we geeks love other browsers, it's important that general users finally have a much improved IE available. Those users will likely never download Chrome or Firefox, so IE9 will seem like a dramatic improvement to them.

This article reeks of paid placement. IE has been and will forever be a disaster. It needs to go the way of the Zune.- a hardworking, standards respecting web developer

I'm not a windows user, so I have no idea.. but the biggest reason to use firefox or chrome are the extensions / add-ons .. does IE9 support dev like these browsers.

“Microsoft one-upped Google Chrome’s minimal design by moving the browser’s address bar right alongside its tabs, leaving even more room for web pages to shine.”Ummm, you do realize that Chrome's tabs are in line with the min/resize/close buttons (when maximized meaning that there isn't space being wasted JUST for the title bar. Open it up, have a look, you'll see what I'm saying. IMHO this is a better implementation than IE9's due to the fact you can cram more tabs in before they start shrinking. Important on my laptop, essential on my 10.1″ tablet PC (that I often use in portrait mode.) As far as IE9 competing with Chrome on speed, I have to chuckle a bit. While yes, IE9 will technically keep up with Chrome on paper, this just hasn't been my experience in the last three hours of head-to-head testing. IE9 might be able to compete if it weren't so damn resource heavy. Whatever Chrome may lack in page load speed, it more than makes up for in the fact that it doesn't tax my cpu or memory anywhere NEAR as much as IE9. Yes, I am running these tests on my netbook. No, I don't think that's unfair. It has a 1.83ghz cpu, 2GB RAM, and shipped with Win7 HP. If MS is willing to let it ship with their OS then it should be able to run their browser (for the record, this machine has no problems multitasking in Win7 including running Firefox and Chrome simultaneously so there shouldn't be a problem running faster, stronger, better IE9, right?)Anyway, to sum up, MS still has a ways to go before they're really competing with Chrome OR Firefox. While it was marginally faster than Firefox, it just doesn't have the plethora of add-ons Firefox has. When you're tag-along computer has a 10″ touch screen, add-ons can make or break your browsing experience. I figured MS would better prepare it's browser for touch, considering they've been “optimizing” for tablet PCs for so long. Apparently not. Oh well, better luck next time….and yes, I do understand that I, owning a netbook tablet pc, am in the extreme minority but with all the heat MS is getting in the “mobile” tablet world right now, I'm also part of one of their most important focus groups.And in case anyone's interested, it's a Lenovo Ideapad S10-3T and it costs anywhere from $450-$630.

Don't install it if you have Windows Ultimate and use language packs – this POS is not localized for Windows Ultimate language packs, unlike any other major browser. MS blew it.

phuss.. it can use hardware acceleration only on HTML5 content … not for any content…and the same feature is already available in opera.. so its nothing new.. most features are copied from other browsers… again … tweaked a bit to look original…
