Wondering is anybody using IE9. The reviews from users Ive read say it is faster and better the Chrome. And how does it work with autos.
I'm on IE8. talk about freeze freeze freeze.

Thats one of the reasons I still use IE7
I just downloaded IE9. Seems to be faster.
IE8 is so buggy. SLow, freezes. Guess I will try IE9 Microsoft finally got it right with WIN 7 so maybe they got it right with IE9
Was gonna try 9 but since it says it's still Beta, I will wait a while..
IE9 is quick. I wish they would stop moving the icons every time they release a new browser.
when i downloaded IE9 a few hours ago, my favorites bar was gone!
finally googled it and got it back. wish they would stop rearranging chit!

I can use my favorites bar to save things but when i got to click on favorites and open something ...nothings there. this has been going on for awhile now. I have IE8 too. I am going to google IE9 and see if it helps.
Modified because I forgot to ask .... do I have to delete IE8 first or do I just download IE9 over the top of it ??

Just download IE9. When you download IE9, IE8 pretty much updates itself.
Hate to rain on this but I downloaded IE9 and could not get computer to work. Had to do startup repair that got it working them one system restore to get ti back where it was. Thats what i get for breaking my rule on NEVER EVER NEVER download anything Microsoft Beta
The beta thing stopped me too..I did check it out and I have xp so it saidf I had to get win 7 befgore I could even download IE9..etc etc so I said forget that mess..I will wait..What is windows 7 anyway..never heard of that..I always thought stuff like that came with your updates that you do..

Windows 7 is the latest OS from Microsoft. XP users will need to upgrade to Windows 7 when Microsoft stops making security patches for XP. Microsoft ended technical support for XP in 2009 but will issue security patches until 2014 at which time you will need to upgrade your OS.
I will say Microsoft FINALLY built a solid OS with Windows 7. Beats all the rest(and that wasnt hard)

No you don't.
Thank you Homer. I also noticed that IE9 can only be used on windows vista. Is that true or did I read that wrong??

It works with Vista or Windows 7. It does not work with XP
I love my XP. And I have IE7. I hope I don't have to upgrade to IE9, which means I'll have to uprade to Win7. UGH. I hate this.
Dont worry Squid. Win 7 is the same or better when it comes to stabilty and ease of use. XP I believe set microsoft on the road to building WIn 7. Vista would have been a better OS if they hadnt made it so graphic heavy. WHne I got a new pc with win 7 I tried it for a few months and then ordered a new laptop with WIn 7 networing with win 7 is so easy but you cant network anything except computers running Win 7 it wont work with different OS and since I perfer my laptop for most things I can now access files from the pc on the laptop
You can network Win 7 with XP
QuoteXP Computers in the Windows 7 Network Map
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows 7 and Vista have the ability to detect the devices on a network and build a network map based on what it finds. Windows 7 and Vista do this using a protocol called LLTD (Link Layer Topology Discovery). The LLTD Responder is built in to both Windows 7 and Vista. It's also being included in Access Points, Wireless Routers and some NAS devices that display the "Windows 7" Logo.
Among other things LLTD does is detect laptops and desktops that are connected via wireless and builds the network map accordingly. However, any wireless connections will show up only if there's something connected.
However, XP doesn't support the LLTD Responder natively and thus, when the network map is displayed, any PC's running XP (any flavor) will show up on the bottom of the page in their own area, unable to be placed on the map.
Microsoft has a hotfix that will add LLTD Responder support to XP. It does require a Genuine copy of XP and may also require providing your email address to get access to the hotfix. The hotfix only works with SP3 so make sure your system has it installed.
IMPORTANT: This hotfix needs to be installed on every PC running XP on the network.
