IE9 beta is Good! But I'm staying with Chrome!

Microsoft released the beta version of its latest offering - IE9. Those who want to try it, head over to : #-Link-Snipped-#

The IE9 installer (about 2.4mb in size) took about 40 seconds to download on my broadband and another 3-4 minutes to download the complete software. After installation was complete; the installer asked me to restart my computer ๐Ÿ˜’ , configured the updates and the software was ready to go. I noticed that the IE9 beta has replaced the default IE9 on my setup (Vista 32 bit).

IE9 is extremely fast in loading! I guess even faster than Chrome. IE9 team has put in many remarkable features adopted from Chrome and FireFox. I tried loading various popular blogs and sites and noticed that IE9 does a good job as well.

There's only one address bar that also acts as search bar (default bing.com) and opens new sites in new tabs adjacent to it.

I however am still impressed by the simplicity of Chrome. If Microsoft continues to work on IE9 I think IE9 will be a good competition to FF & Chrome.

I'm sticking to Chrome for the time being. If you've tried IE9, post your reviews, comments and opinion in this thread!
