Updates for Internet Explorer 9 Beta
Today we released a recommended update for all Internet Explorer 9 Beta customers via Windows Update (KB2448827). This update includes stability fixes for the beta build. It is not a new Internet Explorer 9 Beta build. Another update shipped today (KB2452648) resolves issues between the IE9 send feedback feature on 64-bit machines with Windows-Live-Essentials 11. These updates apply only to Internet Explorer 9 Beta.
Customers who have automatic updating enabled will not need to take any action because this update will be downloaded and installed automatically. Customers who have not enabled automatic updating need to check for updates and install this update manually. For information about specific configuration options in automatic updating, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 294871.
Thank you for your continued support and feedback.

Thanks! I think that all of us have been perplexed by the non-working Feedback feature. LOL. :-))Anonymous

@ Dileepa .... I guess they haven't been reading the trouble report entries at Microsoft Connect. Perhaps they just found them. :DAnonymous

Well, installed IE9 beta a few days ago on a W7 machine. I now cannot see the kneeboard on Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX Gold! tried to uninstall or revert to previous version NOTHING CHANGES AND I AM FED UP! What do I di to get rid of IE( on my machine and have the old version of IE and FSX working as usual?Anonymous

@Lumpy: To revert back to IE8 follow these steps. Click on the Start Pearl, Click Control Panel. Then click Uninstall A Program under the Program category. Then on the left hand side you will see where it says View Installed Updates. Click that. You will now have to wait for Windows to find all installed updates. Once this has completed, you will look for Windows Internet Explorer 9 under the Microsoft Windows category. Once you find this select it and then click uninstall. This will remove IE9 beta 1 and you will be required to restart your computer. Good luck!Anonymous

@Dileepa Prabhakar: I like your sarcasm. The "Send Feedback" feature was the most important part of the beta, and took them long to fix it. What a waste of testing time, and many unreported bugs.Anonymous

@MS IE Team Great work. Thank you for developing greatest, unprecedented and matchless next-generation web browser. @thenonhacker & @Dileepa A very known fact: While in-built feedback feature was not working, MS connect web application was backing it up. BTW, you don't appear to me like a feedback-giving people but some freetards complaining about everything you experience in your sorry lives.Anonymous

Testing the beta since day 1. Very good and speedy browser, some crashes with some webpages, specially some blogs based on blogspot, but nothing special. Anyone noted that the facebook pinned icon in taskbar is not anymore in full resolution? The jump list items are there, but the icon is in low resolution and looks horrible in my Win7 taskbar. Please confirm...Anonymous

For quite some time now, compatibility view updates are not being offered for Windows Server 2003 and XP x64 editions. Why? Where is KB2447568 for these OSes?Anonymous

Webslice functionality looks great. The feedback system incorporating video capturing the troublesome event from a single click is fantastic. Google Sputnik - JS Conformance Test (Score shows number of tests 'fail'):- Beta Before the update: 81/5246 ; After: 82/5246 Platform Preview 7 76/5246 Acid3 Test (100/100 is ideal):- Beta Before the update:95/100 ; After 94/100 Platform Preview 7 95/100 It appears to me as in this release, they have focused on other features rather improving JS. Regarding SVG: The svg+xml driven shape object embedded at <sputnik.googlelabs.com/compare> is viewable in FF Beta 7 but not in updated IE9 beta.Anonymous

chip.com.tr not working very well with IE9 BETAAnonymous
November 24, 2010
@Ugur The leaked IE9 Beta (build 9.0.8027.6000 ) seems to load chip.com.tr just fine It only crashed each time I try to load this blog. Only when I turn on Compatibility View, the page loads without crashing the tabAnonymous

@Right reaction If you have access to Connect, here's a link to my feedback. connect.microsoft.com/.../SearchResults.aspx Also, if you notice, my feedback stopped right around the time when the feedback tool stopped working. Submitting feedback through Connect is, to put it mildly, painful.Anonymous

If you guys bring the live-tiles experience in IE9 about:Tabs page, the one in now-playing view of Zune (for PC) and Windows Phone 7, that would be the great great aesthtic change. BTW Zune PC is the most aesthetically great cool-looking and HCI-wise perfectly designed application created by MS for Windows.Anonymous

I am having a problem with IE9. For some odd reason when I open multiple tabs internet explorer freezes and goes to a blank page. My internet connectivity shows excellent connectivity. Please work out this bug.Anonymous

Will IE9 allow the consumer to order their bookmarks in the order THEY want? Will it still used the Favorites folder or a windows directory to order bookmarks? I don't want Windows to sort my bookmarks, I want to sort them MY way, like Mozilla does.Anonymous

@Al Favorite Manager is certainly would be great addition. Especially it is almost needed for "non-windows shortcuts" to improve speed on cold start...Anonymous
November 24, 2010
@Al @FM There already exists such a function, there are at least two ways to reach it so I will just post the the easiest to describe. press alt + A , select organize favorites From there you can arrange your favorites in whatever order you like by dragging them around.Anonymous

@RobertG: There is one exception. If thread responsible for tab is busy or otherwise unavailable (like it is being paged back from pagefile) controlling process thinks that tab hangs and restarts it with known dialog. It is bit too agressive.Anonymous

My biggest complaint is why is no improvement to the RSS experience since IE7? How about a simple "Mark as unread" for RSS feeds? Feeds protocol support? The "Refresh this feed" green arrow to refresh a single feed seems to be missing in IE9. You now want us to right click and click Refresh?Anonymous

I like the new IE9, there is a way to recover the search terms? Why clicking the magnifier glash near the URL does not recover it? I mean, if you search something in google and you want to search the same thing in bing, you must copy and paste or rewrite your searchAnonymous

Because I prefer the IE8 UI over the IE9 UI I have uninstalled IE9 beta even though the rendering engine is superior. Users are going to hang to IE8 like IE6 because IE9 forces simplicity on everyone and is a step back from the customizable and full-featured GUI of IE8.Anonymous

Wow, see all this complaining, I started using IE9 Beta the day it was released and have not used another browser since. It works great on my AMD 64 running windows 7 64 bit. Also works great with my Nvidia graphics card. I've had a few pages crashes sure. But the performance boost has been killer. The only problem I've seen is that occassionally it would remain running even after the windows were closed. And I'd like to see settings allowing us to set how much vid ram on the card it can use. I think many have forgotten that this browser uses your graphics chips to offload the rendering work. Those with onboard graphics might see little enhancement or slow down. The onboard graphics on my system even though they were Nvidia were pitiful which is why I bought a stand alone card. I just wish I could make the 64 bit version the default, I love it!!!Anonymous

Lets make a list of good and bad things about IE9 as of today: Good:
- Flying cows perform well with latest Discrete graphics cards.
- Certain fonts look better if large enough Bad:
- To use tabs you now need to upgrade display to wide screen and use it maximized
- To use address bar you also need to upgrade display to wide screen and use it maximized
- Certain popular fonts at popular sizes are horribly rendered on common DPI displays (it seems for <150 DPI displays exceptions need to be made for these fonts)
- Quite a lot of sites that work in IE8 now work worse in IE9 even in IE8 doc mode or don't work at all
- People who play Flying cows don't mind taking 5 seconds to install a native app that performs 10x better or more. Even in best case unrealistic benchmarks JS is 4+x slower than Intel C++ compiled code on Intel processors. So instead of running at say 4 Ghz your new computer performs same tasks like 1 Ghz from ~10 years ago, except now in a browser. Woo hoo. And that's in the best case! In reality stuff in browser runs like a dog with two legs amputated when compared to a native machine code.

but can anyone tell me when the beta2 will be released? this week or next week ?Anonymous
November 28, 2010
@Erwin Ried, that is a very reasonable thing to have in the next-generation web-browser. Please submit the feedback by pressing Alt+x+k or from connect website. They would entertain the feedback in some weeks (in my case it took 8 weeks before they made a first comment; coz there are over 4800 active feedback posts on connect, out of which more than 3000 are submitted in the last 1 or 2 months). Please let me know the connect link once you are done, i would also support your opinion (may be that little support prevents it going under "Done (as in rejected) - By design" and they reconsider it !!) :D m/ Also, do you think something like this-> ( connect.microsoft.com/.../suggestion-for-ie9s-addressbar-and-title-of-the-webpage ) gonna get entertained?Anonymous

I've installed version 7 of the platform preview on Windows 7 x64 machine. (8GB RAM, Pentium Dual Core 3.2GHz). Now I realize that I won't the the same absolute performance number, but in every case that I've tested, it is MUCH slower than GC 7.0.517.44. A case in point, on the HTML5 Sudoku solving 5000 games in GC takes 1.900 seconds, in PP7 it takes 30.628 seconds. Now on my laptop (Core 2 Dual @ 2ghz, 4GB RAM, Windows 7x64) the time are quite a bit different. For GC 6.993 seconds and PP7 1.382 seconds. Is there really that much processor specific optimazation in the Platform preview?Anonymous
