Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Internet Explorer 9 now available to download
There are no significant changes between the RC and the final build; it's more of a spit-and-polish than anything else. Microsoft tells us that performance has been improved on low-end machines (with low-end graphics cards), but we can't confirm that yet. There's also a handy link from the Tracking Protection UI to the ready-made Tracking Protection Lists.
If you already have the Release Candidate or Beta versions installed, the RTW (release to world) build will be offered via Windows Update (presumably tomorrow morning). If you don't have the RC or Beta builds installed, you'll have to grab it manually.
Download Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista and 7 -- then read our IE9 guide -- and top it off with some juicy IE9 keyboard shortcuts.

Love this browser, but STILL no spell check? At this point it seems as though they are making a conscious decision to exclude the feature. Anyone have a clue as to why?

Tried using this on my netbook to see how it stacks up to Chrome, my usual browser choice. Installing IE9 (over IE8) was uneventful, and everything looked like it should when I started it up ... and then things started going wrong. First visit was to a site that uses Java to deliver content I check regularly, but rather than seeing what I expected, all I got was a warning that Java was not installed or not enabled. A check of everything I can think of said otherwise and that the warning was in error. Next thing I tried was retrieving messages from Gmail, where I ran into a message saying that ActiveX controls were not enabled and Gmail could not operate properly. Again, a check of all relevant browser settings revealed that ActiveX settings were exactly as recommended by Gmail, and yet my mail still remained inaccessible. The happy ending to this story is that uninstalling IE9 was remarkably quick and pain-free and that my netbook is now purring contentedly with IE8 back and running as it was before. I will not be installing IE9 again on my netbook or my other 3 computers any time soon, and will continue using Chrome as my default browser.

@Mike from Markham Well, this is Microsoft, so there very well may be a button hidden in the deepest possible menu that says something like "Disable IE9 completely". Wouldn't doubt it! xD
