This is just a FYI, when trying out IE 9 Beta, IE will not start and reports following error:

Application Timestamp: 4c7e0414

Fault Module Name: WBLIND.dll

Fault Module Version: 7.1.0.0

OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1

Locale ID: 1033

Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

Thats using Windows 7 Ultimate x64

If I go into exceptions and add all the exe files in the Internet Explorer folder it will run only if I click a shortcut to a page and not if I just start it from shortcut in taskbar.

Yup, that sounds like a beta.

I knew it! So it's really true

Windowblinds has always been in beta stage and has yet to completely skin Internet Explorer since IE7

 

Though I know you weren't referring to Windowblinds

The next WB update should resolve this issue that happens with some skins.

Tried IE9, only issue I had was that there was no titlebar or titlebar glyphs at all, they just would not appear, in normal or maximized window.  Also, it is no faster than Firefox IMO.  Just stick with FIrefox folks, much better than any browser out there.

All the major browsers are so fast, and so close in speed, that speed is not even an issue anymore when deciding which browser to use.  The most important things are security, ease of use, and add ons.  Firefox was my personal fav for a while, but IE8 has taken the title for me.  It's FAR more secure.  The following stats are from PC World...

Total number of vulnerabilities for 2009...

Firefox 169

Safari 94

Internet Explorer 45

Chrome 41.

The average amount of time a vulnerability is left unpatched...

Internet Explorer and Firefox - less than 1 day

Chrome - 2 days

Safari - 13 days

Yeah its a piece of something... I had to unload windowblinds so it would stop crashing.  PLus i had to go to firefox to edit this message!!  From what little browsing I could do it did not seem any faster...
