Has anyone d/l this one yet? What do you think? Will it work well with Vista? I sat through about 5 minutes of the intro page crap, then got bored lol.

Does it come pre-loaded with every exploit the hacker kiddies can think of? 
I use Firefox and have no more use for IE.

IE9 is one of the first to start working with some of the new features included in HTML 5. This download is beta and the full version won't be out until later this year or early next year. I plan to download it after everyone else has "beta tested" the full release. The advantages this browser and others like it will be that it will use more of the computer's resources. When streaming video for example, instead of just the processor to decompile the data stream, it will also use the graphics resulting in steadier, higher resolution and smoother video. For developers, as HTML 5 kicks in, the process of developing a site will be much easier because a lot of the current HTML tags will be depricated in favour of simpler constructs. HTML 5 isn't fully underway yet so IE9 and others will still parse HTML 4.

I'll pass for now but I will probably use it in future.

You said, 'parse'......

parsably.

That was my thought too. Pass for now on the Beta version. The video accelerator intrigued me.
