Re: IE 9
Been using the beta at work. It's not awful, has a few more compatibility issues with certain sites than IE8 did. Will still use Chrome for my personal life, but at work I'm all about the IE9.

Re: IE 9
Compared to Chrome and Firefox it is slow....
But it does support HTML5 which is a leap for M$

Re: IE 9
I haven't used it, but just reading that lifehacker article, I don't plan to any time soon.
It seems to have some useful features, but one things really bugs me. Why are they cutting everything down so much? What's with the combined search bar and URL bar? Where are my damn menus? I don't want slimmed down fufu programs that try to guess what I'm thinking and put words in my mouth. I want a program that will sit down, shut up, and only do exactly what I tell it do, nothing else. I want it to place the options for telling it what to do readily at my finger tips, and then wait for instructions, not hide menus like some kind sick maitre d' at a posh prix fixe restaurant.
It's the same bloody reason I like Win2K Pro, hate TiVo, and despise those disgusting mac-centric tool tips and pictures in the TF2 menu, in place of a the old, far more utile, listing of options. I'm not a fricking kindergartener, I can read! I don't need picture books, and I have an attention span longer than that of a goldfish. Just let me use the program, and don't try to make it cute.

Re: IE 9
I upgraded to it today after using the beta for months. The 64bit win7 versions apparently take a performance hit. I use FF mainly and they also released their 4.0 version last week. Get used to the slimmed down UI, it's happening to all the browsers.
For the most part, if you've been using ie8 this whole time then do yourself a favor and upgrade already. IE9 has been in beta for months and it is quite stable.
