Windows Update...actually Downloaded IE 9 for 64 bit...Interesting

Did not realize that Updates for Windows 7 also meant that IE 9 was considered an update / important.

Actually, the update  explained was for the 64 bit only, not the 32 bit IE [8] that is also running presently on this computer.

I have the option of downloading and installing IE 9 for 32 bit, should I decide to do this.

Not being as trusting as perhaps most others are, decided to install & use IE 9 only on the 64bit Internet.

As I see this new 9, most things seem to be working as usual;
the address bar  across the very top of the of the screen is quite different; but the actual Windows [opened sites] still appear across the bottom.   

The AR site appears to be different, but not disturbingly so; 
All the normal options appear to be present.  That is all that I must have;



So far; edits work the same; I can utilize the "inset / edit image" icon [could not do so yesterday in the 32 bit.IE.

If this continues as it is now functioning, then it seems to be a "good" change.

NOW, my real point of this post is to ask if any of you  are using IE 9:
Do you have any additional kudos for it [other than the minimal ones that I listed thus far]

I do see that IE 9 allows you to "pin" favorite sits to 'drag a favorite web site to the 'taskbar' & it is then a click away;
frankly, I thought that was the purpose of the Windows that cluster around the bottom of this screen & you see what you have open [available if you use tabs for homepages ]

If that is the difference between the two IE 8 & IE 9, then will leave this (9) on the 64 bit IE only.
So far, there is NO available Adobe 10 Flash for the 64 bit, so in order to utilize flash I must open & use the 32 bit.
No biggie.

Since I am not having the "normal-for me" problems after installing a Big program on my computer, I guess that IE 9 is a neat and good item.

However, until I hear from some here in the Rain, that IE 9 is far superior to IE 8, it will remain only on the 64 bit IE [I actually have two icons for IE--& as long as I remember that the Left hand side is the 64 bit--All is Well.

Don't know about putting videos on sites while in IE 9, but will leave that for another time.

Did learn that is is VITAL that I open and read 'about' any "Important Update" before downloading / installing.
One day lately [usually check on & install new updates on Tuesdays--as that is the day they are available]--some time in the last 2 installs, Google Chrome appeared---do not like Chrome---Chrome feels the same about me.  

At least, that flashing notice on the lower right hand side has stopped informing me of the latest Important update.




Must state that as I am typing and working within IE 9--the TV in the background is showing House Hunters;
...watching that show is not good for my blood pressure on normal nights;
...it is good for an exercise program normally;
...where DO they find these buyers???;
...Keep them away from our Home / listings;
These two are "nit-pickers" personified; and they want this house for nothing along with all closing costs.

SPARE Me.
[you must pardon me, we have received a "phone offer" --reminding me of the Phone-S__, that is "all talk- no action"
We learned through that call that "This House is not worth more than $________, based upon his vast experience in the field" 

REALLY --WHAT  FIELD  WOULD THAT BE ??? hum

sorry--BAD PHONE EXPERIENCE.
[cannot use the spell check that is normally on the google bar. That is not so good.
