I didn't have any problems while I was using it, but it's been a while since I had it. I just wanted to see what it was like, and if it was different. I liked it a lot compared to IE7/8. I use Opera and don't use IE unless it's absolutely necessary, but I really liked IE9 and can only hope that the final product is similar to the beta.

One question though.....how exactly are they "shoving it down your throat"? I don't ever see anything about it unless I read it on here or on the 7 forums.

Here are some of the complaints about IE9
Internet Explorer 9 (IE9): Problems With Beta? : Product Reviews Net

Give this a try, when you get the page, go to IE Tools>internet options>security and and the page to restricted sites.

Ahh...I see.
I don't use the web based live hotmail, so I didn't know, but what you're saying would kind of get on my nerves too, especially if I was expecting to end up on a different page.

The official release of 9 will be in a few weeks. You may want to try it then. I heard that it will have some rather awesome features.
