Sad really, IE9 shouldn't even have left Alpha. It doesn't support even half of the CSS3 properties and suffers from weird rendering bugs.

@SpeedGun funny, because the unit tests at http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/ietestcenter/ seem to show that its support for CSS3 is pretty good, and better than the other ones can do currently

Built in privacy controls stay on now. Called "Tracking Protection".
Very very cool.

A couple things to note about this installation on Windows 7 64-bit:
- IE9 RC x64 will ask you to disable all running programs including Microsoft Security Essentials and Avast, Firefox (if it's open), Bittorrent, iTunes, iTunes Helper, and several other programs-- both programs running in background and foreground.
- IE9 RC x64 seems to have both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of IE9 in the same installation. I just checked both folders in Program Files (x86) and Program Files, and both iexplore.exe files were recently changed today.

@octoberasian
Also, you will have to restart regardless whether you close down your programs or not.
Firefox doesn't do this, even FF4b.
Chrome doesn't do this either.
