Windows Important Update- Service Pack for Windows Vista and IE8Two months back I got that "Important Update" from Windows and they installed the Service Pack for Windows Vista. Later another update installed Windows Internet Explorer 8 which I thought was really great becasue IE8 is much faster and simpler to use than the previous versions. It also has some new options which can be used hassle-free and they make your browsing much smoother.
Install Internet Explorer 9
However, a few weeks back I got a new "Important Update" and Internet Explorer 9 was installed. As I was already impressed with IE, 8 I thought
"Great! If IE8 was superb then IE9 must be the ultimate!"
But unfortunately IE9 was the worst browser I ever came across. Well, atleast until now.
What problems I faced while using IE9?
1. It was taking a very long time to load as though they werent slow enough already.
2. While you browse the whole thing just gets stuck. I tried waiting for some time but no use. I could have used Task Manager and closed it but the whole system was stuck which is why I had to power it off. I restarted the system again hoping the problem would be resolved, but to my disappointment the browser gets stuck while browsing again.
3. I assumed that it might be some temporary technical problem with Windows itself so I opted for my good ol Firefox- that trustworthy browser of all times! But now there's no Internet connection. So here I go again restarting the system all over again. Yes not only does the system gets hung, the Internet connection also stops.
4. Above all, each time you open IE9 you get a dialogue box suggesting that you remove some of the items you wouldnt need so that IE9 would be smooth and fast. Guys- that suggestion is a joke- it does you no good. Probably it may speed up the browsing but whats the point of it if everything is going to get hung anyway!
Internet Explorer 9 is the Real Culprit!
Now this was going on for almost a week when I decided to test it one final time today to make sure that the real culprit was IE9 itself and not my system or Firefox or my Internet connection. Once more I open IE9, start browsing and 'Voika!'- the system is stuck again. No buttons will work now. I look at the internet icon and the connection is gone! So there you have it- IE9 is the real culprit. So I have just restarted the system and happily browsed with Firefox. No hang-ups and no connection problems.
And this is why I have finally unistalled IE 9 and reinstalled IE8! I hope Windows take care of the IE9 bugs.
