Yesterday (Sept 15th), the latest version of IE was out on the street. First impressions: Fast and very clean. Your bars are all disabled onfirst load. You will have to enable them IF you really need them.
With a little smaller memory print and a rendering engine that really is faster than IE8.
This browser is HTML 5 enabled and there is where all the fun will be in the time to come
