So I opened up IE9 to examine it for this review. And then I was quickly distracted by a YouTube video.. Damn internet.. :)
After watching Stephin Colbert being insulted in congress simply because he is the only real American left.. I decided to get back to the review.
So, IE9....
What can I say? I decided to break this review down to three categories.. Speed, stability and HTML5 compliance which Microsoft clams are the three main tenets of IE9 .
Speed:
Well the only test on the web I could find that rated IE9 as fast was published by Microsoft... Fancy that... The truth of the matter is.. IE9 is slow as hell, even with GPU acceleration. In my opinion chrome and other web-kit browsers are still king and always will be.. So In the speed category IE9 gets a D rating.
Stability:
Let me put it this way.. I started to write this review in IE9, and it become so unstable that I had to quickly cut and paste my post into chrome.. Also, there is no cut and past option in the right click menu, which pissed me off even more. Fortunatly, must windows UI text boxes inherent the CTRL+Delete hotkey from the windows FORMS library, and IE9 was no exception.. And, additionally there is no in-form spell check, unless you want to install IE spell, which dosn't even underline words in real time! Also, if you want to upgrade to IE9 final release, you best be prepared to install Windows7 Service Pack 1 first, because you can't install IE9 with out it. So, you can add the risk of installing a unstable service pack to the risk of installing a crappy browser, But wait theirs more!! Windows 7 SP1, has not even been given a release date yet, so I guess IE9 final release is on hold for awhile as well. So for stability sake, IE9 gets a stinky F.
HTML5 Complience:
Ha ha... Again the only site that clams IE9 is fully HTML5 compliant is owned by Microsoft.. Every other test I ran on the browser by independent testing sites put IE9 in dead last for standards compliance. And not surprising Google chrome beta won that prize. Microsoft's clams the IE9 will follow the w3c standards to a tee in my opinion is hogwash. If Microsoft really wanted to impress me, they will abandon all the ActiveX horse shit, I mean really it's not like anyone uses it so why keep it around? Except for the sake of spreading mal-ware.. So for the sake of compliance again IE9 gets a big fat F that smells like the inside of my ass.
Total Score: DFF for a F Average that smells like donkey penis roasting over hot coals.
