Its still not out yet though is it?

I though just some developers were using it to see how well it is working.

Supposed to support CSS much better that the old IE that is ment to have been there main improvements just trying to improve CSS ability.

It will have had to improved hell of a lot to have caught back up with Firefox though.

Sounds pretty good though. I might just get back to Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. But, I will always use Firefox for developing websites in though. This gives a better result, and always will...

I saw one thing that firefox does not have and the new I.E does. I could not find it on the site but i'll try and explain it.

It was like you click on a button and it opens the pages like you would if you click the desgn slide view in PowerPoint if you know what I mean.

Na not sure what you mean there, but my fav bit about Firefox is all the extensions.

The web developer too bar for FF is the best it has all the common tasks that you use in web design.
