No IE9 for while? <br /><br />Hallelujah!<br />Thank You Jesus.

[shellcodes_coder]

IE 9, lol maybe IE 9 will catch up with firefox 2 in the future!! Office 2010 is great, can't wait for the final version :)

[RamaSubbu_SK]

I don;t see the need for IE 9 right now, until they HTML 5 is standaradized.

[cbscowards]

I don't see the need for IE9 ever... MS will just botch up HTML 5 support like every other version they've touched.

Maybe they are still trying to work out how to do SVG, PNG and CSS...
