I've had the Beta version installed on one of my W7 (32bit) PCs for some time and liked the download manager and it did seem faster. But I hated the look of it and still mainly use FF.

Very wise.

[#3]

Still using the RC version.
Find it generally works quite well.

[#4]

Forgive me for being a bit cynical, but isn't "Web-focused browsing" what all web browsers do?

[#5]

installed it but am unimpressed ... too skinny an interface for me & is tricky to access some features so I won't bother using it ... seems to be set up for very light users in default mode!
as for the better download manager mentioned above, well that's been available for ages with likes of ie7pro

[#6]

So, it seems the general consensus is IE9 is not really witsles and bells.  Still, I like my Firefox.

Downloaded it, tried it and got "Internet Explorer Has Stopped Working" while viewing the IE9 information on Microsoft's website!
Further information: "Windows Data Execution Prevention detected an add-on trying to use system memory incorrectly. This can be caused by a malfunction or a malicious add-on."
I am using Windows 7.

The release of a new version of Internet Explorer (IE) is always an 'interesting' time. IE is infamous among web designers for being the least standards compliant of all web browsers. But following the release of IE9 this week, the main issue we have observed seems to be related to a bug in Google Maps API, which we use to display our speedcam submission map, and not the fault of Microsoft. Until Google fix this issue we have had to kludge a fix that forces our site to run in IE8 mode when accessed by IE9 users.

How is it, exactly that they know its not a bug with IE, but instead Googles fault?

[#11]

I'm starting to like Chromium, Its pretty fast, Firefox 4 Is just as skinny and dare I say It... Not any faster than the one I use now!!

Might be of Interest to someone using IE9.

Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) embeds so many features and options  regular users do not know about, that Microsoft has released a free Internet Explorer 9 ebook manual (product guide) that will literally let you discover what the browser has got to offer you. The ebook is divided into different chapters or section, each highlighting a special and unique Internet Explorer 9 feature. Chapters available on the free ebook are: Introduction, containing a brief explanation of what’s new in this latest version as well as a list of performance improvements; Internet Explorer 9 Product Guide for Consumers which might be considered the core of this ebook as it contains a detailed list of features and how to get the best from them; Internet Explorer 9 Product Guide for Developers, a comprehensive mini-guide for developers who wish to know all the goodies coming from the latest HTML5 code; Internet Explorer 9 Product Guide for IT Professionals, an interesting section containing detailed descriptions of the most important Internet Explorer 9. Despite such last section is for IT guys I have to admit that it is very well written. The language it pretty simple and I advice everybody to read it as well as you might learn something new that was not mentioned in the previous chapters!
