2 Men Arrested After Teen Was Run Over For His iPad
Internet Explorer 9 beta 2 leaks, looks ready for launch
As reported by WinRumors, there doesn't seem to be any significant change to the user interface. The download manager shows your current download speed without the need to mouse-over, but that's about it. It's now fairly safe to assume that Microsoft hasn't got any secret plans up its sleeve -- the UI you see now is almost certainly the real deal. If the final launch is in January, we can expect to see one more platform update in about 5 weeks, and then a final release towards the end of January.
I'm not going to give you a link to the IE9 beta 2 installer, but you can probably find it with a little searching on Twitter or Google. The installer is legit -- it's signed by Microsoft -- so you don't need to worry about malware of any variety.

Why the OP didnt post links? Thanks Fez!

@badr Because... well, we don't tend to link to illegitimate releases here on DLS :)
DrakkenfyreNov 23rd 2010 9:02PM
That would be a first.
You were more than happy to link to illegitimate sources before.
Gilbert PalauNov 23rd 2010 10:58AM
But according to TFA, It is legitimate:
"The installer is legit -- it's signed by Microsoft -- so you don't need to worry about malware of any variety."
So if it's legit, why not post the links? Fez did... what is wrong with that?

@badr I obviously can't condone the acts of one random, rampant commenter...
Gilbert PalauNov 23rd 2010 11:46AM
@(Unverified) you still didnt answer the question, if the download is legit, why cant you post the link?

I have to admit it IE 9 is shaping up well. I think MS finally get it.
Sebastian AnthonyNov 23rd 2010 12:15PM
@badr Because I'm terrified of Microsoft.
JoshNov 23rd 2010 12:24PM
@badr
Likely because it isn't official. Why risk MS legal knocking on your door over posting a link in an article?
Anthony S.Nov 23rd 2010 1:52PM
@badr He can't post the link because _*he*_ (and/or DLS) could be held responsible if something _did_ go wrong. It's a cover-your-ass type of thing.

@Drakkenfyre I have no idea what you're talking about.
