Another point is that IE9 will only be available to people with Windows 7 or Windows Vista service pack two. The larger user base of Windows XP machines will be left with IE8 which has hardly any HTML5 capability so for the people who want to enjoy HTML5 sites will just download a third party browser like Google Chrome or Firefox rather than upgrade their setup.

Perhaps I am being too harsh on IE9 it runs smoothly loads pages quickly and has at last adopted a lot of the functionality that other browsers have had for a long time, but maybe that is the point other browsers have the same if not better functionality while allowing for full HTML5 compliancy and no need to have to upgrade your computer to use.

So in conclusion is it any good? There is better…

IE 9
