I’ve been running IE 9 since the early beta versions were released and I must say it's pretty solid. IE 9 offers a cleaned up interface which by default removes the status bar, favourites bar an many of the command buttons. Microsoft still gives you the option to add these features back on but I like the fact that they are trying to make the interface as clean as possible. Some of the nicest features includes a download bar that allows you to manage your downloads independently from your browsing session, the "new tab" window now includes a list of your most popular sites and the ability to reopen closed tabs but I think that the nicest feature is that Microsoft has finally integrated the address bar and the search bar – much like Google’s Chrome. However, if you're still running Windows XP you're out of luck as IE 9 is currently only available for Windows Vista or Windows 7 and it doesn't look like Microsoft is going to change their stance. Try it today…
