More Than Two Million Have Downloaded IE9 Beta
Internet Explorer 9 beta released just a week ago and has already attracted millions of downloads. Microsoft characterized the response as "pretty overwhelming," was at the same time "very humbled."
In the first two days, over 2 million people worldwide downloaded IE9 Beta. This number blasts the old Internet Explorer 8 Beta numbers, which launched in August 2008, that accumulated 1.3 million downloads over the first five days.
"All in all, we are encouraged about the very early response to the IE9 release this past week, namely because it signals that the emphasis on making websites shine through Windows is resonating," said Roger Capriotti, Group Product Planner at Microsoft. "We are looking forward to more and more partners building great experiences through Internet Explorer 9 to deliver a more beautiful web."
Have you tried IE9 beta yet? If so, is it going to replace anything as your primary browser?
Technically? Yeah, you can just sub that in for IS.
Buuut.. in the long run i think i'll stick with google chrome and FF4
It's gonna be a massive improvement over IE8, considering IE8 is IS B#ll$hit
Nah, it doesn't really work.
Fascinating... Please tell me more about your life.
I'm not one of the 2 million and I stick with FF and Chrome =D
You mad we don't care for M$'s BS?
Then it crashed installing the beta of Flash.
Then it would freeze 1/2 the time I visited gaming sites. (probably because of flash I am guessing)
Regardless, this was a clean OS image, and I have never had a beta state as bad as this one from MS.
Guess what I decided to stick with , firefox
