Internet Explorer 9 is a quantum step over every previous IE edition. More specifically, it renders webpages quickly and accurately enough that you can move from Chrome or Firefox, and not find yourself in trouble. This is not true of Internet Explorer 8; of the entire Internet Explorer franchise, only Internet Explorer 9 is not a vivid pain to use. Through my week, only a very few times was something rendered so incorrectly on a web site that I would call it broken; I did have a few issues in Google Analytics, for example, which is perhaps not too surprising. I had expected a great deal more issues of this sort. My largest complaints with Internet Explorer 9 are its relatively lengthy boot time, its tab structure, and that it feels a mite sluggish when compared to Chrome 17 and 18. Those are, however, smaller issues. The days of Internet Explorer being a foe of the web are all but over.
