IE9 - do we like it?

BBC News - Microsoft launch Internet Explorer 9 web browser

Have MS managed to innovate ahead of the competition? Do we  believe them that they are now supporting open standards.

What does the YACF Jury say?


EDIT - downloaded, and now installing. I HATE MS - but I don't mind trying stuff they give me for free.

"The web browsers of the day weren't taking advantage of the power of the hardware, really only about 10%, skimming the surface of the power of a PC, We wanted to make sure we're using 100% of the PC to bring the best experience possible."

Which means it'll hog all your memory.

Not massively impressed so far.

Innovate , Microsoft no chance, they say it will be HTML 5 compliant which it won't  although they will allow a third party plugin to watch video, why bother just use a fully compliant browser like Firefox, Chrome or Opera.
