Well I was expecting this beta and then some. Unfortunately I am disappointed. After the fine beta that was Win7 this feels rushed.
Here are my “bad” points:
- address bar is skewed, again. I simply cannot choose from the last lets say 20 url’s entered and there is no way to do this. Think about::config in firefox
- the page tabs are squeezed on the right of the address bar. Excuse me! Where do I fit my usual 10 tabs. Group them? No, I don’t want that.
- page loading is simply unintuitive. I have no feedback on the status and from 10 pages at least 2 fail to load. No error message just a blank page
The good points (yes there are some):
- the interface is nice, feels more aero-like
- the perceived performance (once you actually get to see something) is good
I was planning to switch to IE9 from Firefox (the damned resource hog) but it is not there yet. Waiting for beta 2.
