    Is a beta for IE9 coming?

  • @shaythai. Don't be surprised it is made available during MIX.

    Just so there is no confusion, I am not a MS employee so my conjectures mean diddly-squat. I was predicting that MS Courier would be announced at CES and then at MWC and it was a no-show each time.

    Now I am hoping for a showing at MIX, although I realize it is a software conference. But, miracles do happen.

  • wanna IE9

  • I wonder what IE9 will mean to web developers.... I hope it's like IE8 and IE7compat not just another browser we as developers need to manually create fixes for.

    Webslices and stuff in IE8 were amazing, I hope they add neat stuff like this in IE9....

    But most importantly, I hope this browser finally gets some speed. I'm not talking about render speed, I don't care about 0,001 or 0,01 seconds I need to wait for a webpage to load, but more like the speed improvements I hope they made in making new tabs, windows etc. Opening a tab in IE8 right now takes as much time as opening Google Chrome with 20 fully loaded tabs. Sure chrome hasn't got the security IE has, but just to compare the speeds is making IE8 terrible.

    However, I have my last hope for IE9.... Look forward to give it a try.

    @Kamal Prasad:

    I bet Courier-ish stuff will show up at PDC later this year.

    I could be wrong, but consumers/business only have so much money and too much buzz can trample the good buzz of other products.

    Natal, WinPhone, Halo and others need to have a good holiday. Maybe courier can be mentioned without diminishing the buzz of MSs other offerings.

    Exciting times, nonetheless.

    Firefox is a lazy, robust mammoth. Slow as hell. So IE is.

    Chrome is fast. Use chrome. Or Safari. Webkit is the point.

    IE is the biggest shame of Microsoft. I hope they'll change it.

    I´m a hard user of IE8, and I too hope this new browser finally gets some speed, likes Peter van Dam said. Comes IE9.

  • Vector,

    There will indeed be SVG support in IE9.
