 The Platform Preview is an early look at the Internet Explorer 9 platform so some features are incomplete, some may change, and some may be added. Microsoft asks that you refrain from providing feedback on features where noted that they are either partially implemented or not available. Microsoft is aware of their condition and will provide updates in future releases. Similarly, for known issues, Microsoft is also aware of their existence and are actively working on them. Using and setting the home page. The default home page of the Platform Preview is the Internet Explorer 9 Test Drive site, which you can use to see demos for and information about the new Internet Explorer 9 platform. You can press F10 at any time to go to your home page. To change your homepage, right click the Internet Explorer Platform Preview icon in the Start menu and choose Properties. In the Target field on the Shortcut tab add your home page URL to the end of the path.
Developer Tools. The Platform Preview includes built-in Developer Tools. These tools help developers debug and understand the interaction between their sites and the browser. To open the Developer Tools, click the Debug menu and click Developer Tools, or press F12. The status bar indicates when the page generates script errors. You can use the Developer Tools to get more information about and debug script errors.
Create Shortcuts to Common Pages. To simplify navigating quickly to pages you commonly use you can create shortcuts. To do so, copy the Internet Explorer Platform Preview icon on your desktop and paste it to your desired location. Right click the newly created shortcut and click the Properties menu item. Update the Target field on the Shortcut tab to start the Platform Preview with the URL of your choice

Who in their right mind would want to preview this Bug infested piece of bloated crap, excuse for a Browser?
If you live in Europe and install Win7, you get a pop up screen asking you which Browser you want to install and 9 out of 10 people choose any other Browser but Internet Exploder!!
Microslop screwed the pooch on this one since the beginning and it's Not getting any better!!
You have a choice people and the smart people avoid IE like the plague!!
To all you Microsux fan boys out there, enjoy the Bugs and the privacy invasiions, 'cause you will get lots of them!! |

This is not a full web browser like IE8 or Opera. This allows you to check compatibility not surf the web. |

IE is always a software that should be installed on your PC but never use it. |

cyberber,
You must live in a Commie country where Freedom of Speech and stating the truth is no t allowed!!
My comments are far from stupid or useless and if YOU did your homework and knew what you were talking about, you would know that my comments are right on and to the point!
FYI IE's marketshare is now down to 59.3%, which represents a major pitfall, whereas other, Real Browsers have Increased Their global standings!
Gee, I wonder why that is??
What does that tell you, if you're intelligent enough to figure it out?
BTW, IE9, Developers release, will Only work with Win7!
Enjoy, all you Loosers and fanboys!
dienbaquan2nd,
If Microslop was smart, which they are Not, they would allow IE to be installed seperately and Not part of Windozz!
That's part of the problem!
