  • It's not the final release yet, but by all means try it out and form your own opinion if you're interested.

    don't build up too much of an opinion yet, as it's still only a beta, not the final product. As for it being forced on you, you can choose not to download and install it....I'm still using IE7 as I think it's better than IE8. Thankfully, I'm still on XP so won't need to worry about 9 anyway on this machine....but may well try it on the lappy :)

    For those that have got 9 - how do you roll back to 8?

    I hate 9 - and the worse bit is the 3 pop up messages every time at the bottom about default browser (click no each time, but still comes back the following day). Can't recall the other two messages - think one of them is around add-ins.

    you have to install 9 (and 8 on vista for that matter) by going to add/remove programs and then going into the Unistall Updates section - 8 and 9 were classed as updates rather than a whole standalone program :)
