As I mentioned earlier, Microsoft is giving an IE9 test drive of their latest development of IE9.

Well, I got an email from a client telling me something is wrong in IE9 Preview. I was shocked that some how, some users are so keen about IE9 development progress.
In all unwillingness, I downloaded and installed the piece of software, hoping that it will work much better. Well, it did

Put away the crash that happen so often (it is a beta preview after all), the developer tools is definitely an improvement on IE. Especially it works much better than Google Chrome, seriously!
What can I say? It’s exciting

Finally Microsoft put a doorbell button on the door and ring all the developers
My concern about border-radius is end! IE9 support it and not only that, IE9 also support some HTML5 element.
However, we as the web designers and developers, shouldn’t be too happy with it. It is merely means another modern browser and does not solve the IE6 user base
Of course the IE6 funeral is just a joke. There are majority of users still with IE6, either because they are running Windows 98 or Windows ME (believe me, I saw those operating system in some office), or some software are depending on them. Might need a few more years before the real end of IE6.
