My wife uses IE8 and was struggling with Google maps. I checked the broadband connection and it looked OK so I opened the same URL with both Firefox and Chrome on the same PC and had no problems at all.

We don't have separate accounts on the PC, that's why we use different browsers and e-mail clients. I use Firefox and Thunderbird, she uses IE8 and Outlook.

Have any regular IE users upgraded to 9? I've been told that once it's installed it can't be uninstalled (I don't know about roll back) so I'm just after some feedback before I make the change.

works fine

it's definitely an improvement over v8 and v7

as for uninstalling, i haven't tried that

Well I've upgraded and tweaked it a little and so far no major problems. Just had one freeze on a secure site but I deleted temp files and the cache, rebooted and it was OK second time around.

Fingers crossed!

IE has come a long way from IE8
