Hi

Yes, have it on 2 PCs at present, both run Windows 7 (32bit and 64bit) no issues so far but I was running the beta and RC on those PCs also and didnt have any issues, the speed is much better as it uses resources from the GPU to help with imaging and video, download manager is good and scans your downloads for malware, I love Pinned Sites and the Jump Lists, Tracking Privacy is one good addition as is the Addon Manager which can tell you what addons are slowing your browsing down.

Give it a try if you have not its good, but then so is Firefox 4RC (Minefield) as well, think I may out of the two stick with IE9.

Security wise they state its much better and soem testing in Beta, sort of bore this out but I'd like to see more evidence once IE9 has been in the real world for some more months, as the malware writers will be hammering the app from now on to find weaknesses.

I just downloaded I.E. 9 and the first program I tried to open, the NY Times crossword, would not open I.E. 9 message was it stopped trying to open it as the string would just keep going , that the program had a problem. I switched over to Chrome and it opened right up. Hope it gets better.
