Any problems with IE 9 Beta

Question

Today I installed IE 9 beta. So far so good. It seems really fast. Even faster than Firefox and Chrome. Did you try it yet? Any problems and warnings I should worry about?

I installed a beta version of IE 8 back when it was new. Microsoft offered it as if it was good. I have only one system and I installed IE 8 beta into my system that I depend on. I had significant problems with IE 8 beta. When I researched the problems I found postings from other people with similar problems and the replies were that we should have expected problems with beta versions. I uninstalled the IE 8 beta but there was a bug that persisted after I was restored back to IE 7. Microsoft did not warn me before installation that there were significant problems with the beta version. Due to that experience I am highly suspicious of beta versions of Microsoft software. I assume that you have more resources available to you if you need to revert back to IE 8 from IE 9 beta; many of us do not. Thank you for taking a chance for us and I hope everyone that follows you is successful. I will wait until it is released and it is good to hear that it is already working good. I hope they have finally improved the in-page searching and the Favorites. The IE 8 way of selecting folders for adding favorites was not designed well.

I actually did NOT. I installed on my development (this) laptop. So far so good. Everything seems to be working fine. Actually after Windows 7 I kinda trust MS :)

I hope you installed it on a Virtual Disk Environment. I always install AlphaBeta version products on Virtual Disks.So that if a problem occurs my development environment wont be affected.
