  You whipper snappers forget that it was IE who pulled internet browsing from the brink of collapse borne of Netscape's utter ineptitude - back in the day IE 4 - 5.5 were God-sent.

  The JS engine in this IE9 beta sure seems fast and the letterspacing demo works a lot better than in Chrome or FF.

  Of course, I don't at all doubt that MS have cherrypicked the tests... very honest of them to keep the Acid test out thee in the open like that.

  Just a shame that I don't appear to be able to use the beta demo outside that test garden.
