IE 9 will only run on Vista/Win7 (Not XP and never will apparently)

The release candidate is now available here

It installs over previous versions (takes a while and reboot required)

Tried it for a day or so and found it a vast improvement over IE8 although the buttons & menu bars have moved. Larger screen for browser thanks to minimal menus.

Suggest you create a restore point if you want to go back because IE 9 will not run in tandem with IE 8. It is treated like a Windows Update to remove but I am unsure whether IE 8 will be reinstated.

Very good review article here although dunno how unbiased it is

if it's same as removing IE8, then yes it will revert to 8 when you remove 9. Removing 8 reverts to 7 (as long as you had 7 installed previously). The fact that you have to remove it as an update would also point to this.

I run XP, so can't physically check...

This is correct! I've just uninstalled ie9 and it reverts back to 8:

Open the Windows Vista’s Control Panel > Click the ‘Uninstall a Program’ option from ‘Programs’" > Look in the Tasks panel and choose the ‘View Installed Updates’ > When the Updates List is displayed, you need to look for the Internet Explorer 9, to uninstall it you have to double click it.Then you will be prompted to restart > all done
