Good = speed + HTML5 support
!Great = many Windows users would be left in the cold...

But but not all is lost... quite a few modern browsers out there for grab, and for free...

Read party and thought release :/

For whoever asked for XP,
do you really expect.. things to be continually released for such an old OS ?!

I really liked Win3.1 for a while too.. but after learning Win95 it was better.. I think you will find the same eXPerience if you try something more recent, like say Windows 7.

2001 called and wanted its OS back!
This is 2010, please get with the times and get on with your life!
It is great that IE9 is exclusive for Vista and Win 7.

Who gives a damn, release something on XP!

Code Barrel should be IE9 compliant!
