Not really, no.

It's still in Beta phase at the moment, and even for a Beta, sucks a$$.

IE has lost it's poll position for most popular browser in Europe recently to Firefox, and I expect the rest of the world to follow suit within the year.

i have never really understood all the broohah about browsers, they all seem to do a pretty good job.

i have most on my laptop, but use I.E mostly, the only real killer feature for me is tabbed browsing

Its now an RC, but the Beta was abysmal. It didn't work with sooooo many sites well at all, not even the big ones you'd imagine would be ok like Ebay. Garbage. I went back to Firefox when I installed it, but have now removed it back to IE8.

I used the beta for a while and it was fine on most sites, although it didn't like javascript very much on some of them.

The release candidate it better and works quite well.

Like hodgy above, I too don't really see the big deal about browsers. I have used most of them and they all do pretty similiar things. I like IE, but don't really notice when I'm using safari on the iPad ...

IE is clunky and slow , try chrome it zips a long at high speed and firefox is halfway in between and the best of all.

Said goodbye to IE a long time ago and never looked back

I never saw the big hoohaa about browsers, until i decided to try Chrome, because of the Chrome to Phone extension. I'm not going back to IE, it just works, better & faster.

I've not used IE since 6 , prefer firefox for the plugins.

I use FF On my mac and chrome on my W7
