Yesterday Microsoft released IE9 and since
then we've been getting tons of submissions about it: It's hard to tell if it is
a threat to web development or
the fastest thing on the web
or even a waste of time. You'll just have to decide for yourself... if you are one of the 9% of Slashdot readers who actually uses IE.

As with any Linux product, by the time I've finally worked out what all the config options do, a new version will be out that deprecates all of them in favour of newer, shinier options.
