Yawn. You all forget I use a mac, and hence, do not have IE (actually, that's a lie. I have IE like... 5.23 for mac or whatever it is) on my computer.
I'm just saying from a developer standpoint, IE9 looks promising.
IE 5, 6, 7, and 8 all looked promising. They werent.
IE7 and 8 actually were, though. From a code support point of view, they were lightyears ahead of 6. If you are a developer, you loved 7 and 8. End users... not so much. Bad UI and it was very slow. But developers like it.

IE7 Is pretty much the same code as the Explorer shell browser. They made it more of an adjunct in the end. IE8 has pretty much all the code 7 does, but with more crap to go wrong.
The Microsoft Evolution:
Make something • 3 Happy with it Build on it Happy with it • 95 Build on it. Something goes wrong • 98 Make a second version • 98 SE Stable but prone to errors Build on it Realize it's a failure • ME Build on another thing and claim it's built on proven technology • NT Happy with it • XP
And da capo.
Make something • Vista Happy with it Build on it Happy with it • 7 Build on it. Something goes wrong
I don't care who you are, developing for IE7 and IE8 is SO much easier than any previous version of IE.
And IE9 will be the easiest to develop for, ever. They're hoping to get 100/100 on the acid 3 by release. Considering it went from like 24 (or less) to the current 95, I'll say IE9 is worth a LOT more of my time and effort.
