Hi Jeebizz, if you weren't a senior member i would have dismissed this post as a troll ;), still, i am sure you have a point somewhere even though i can't see it, Linux being my sole OS. And "..latest version of IE9 is faster than the beta by 35%, making it faster than any browser currently available."..how in the world did they arrive at such a precise number?!

And, it's only in RC status. Not released yet...

No trolling intended. As you will know I don't always post news articles solely based on Linux. Another note, all my posts are subject to mod's approval. I cannot simply post a news article here and expect it to be visible, it is again up to the mods.

As far as I'm concerned anything tech related can and should be posted, and doesn't necessarily have to be about Linux directly.

As for the numbers, I'm sure it is inflated. This should just give you and others more incentive to prove them wrong by adopting alternative browsers.
