IE 9.0.9 Available via Windows Update
The August 2012 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer is now available via Windows Update. This security update resolves four privately reported vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited any of these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights This security update is rated Critical for Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, and Internet Explorer 9 on Windows clients and Moderate for Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, and Internet Explorer 9 on Windows servers For more information, see the full bulletin.
Most customers have enabled automatic updating and do not need to take any action. We recommend that customers, who have not enabled automatic updating, enable it (Start Menu, type “Windows Update”). We recommend that administrators, enterprise installations, and end users who want to install this security update manually, apply the update immediately using update management software or by checking for updates using the Microsoft Update service.
—Tyson Storey, Program Manager, Internet Explorer

Windows 8 RTM-ed on Aug 1, FYI. Ignorant troll is ignorant. And how specifically is IE10 a half-finished browser? You mean Google's and Mozilla's timelines are better, with their fast release cycles? Please, don't be so hypocritical next time, or keep things to yourself. This is an IE9-and-Windows-Update-related post, by the way - but obviously you can't read.Anonymous

ie9 is slow on my windows7 pc, i want to know when ie10 will be released for my windows7 pc, and i hope it's much lighter then ie9.Anonymous

I sure hope IE10-Win7 makes its debut sometime soon. I sure hope IE10 in general gets updated far more frequently than every 3 years. Or even every year.Anonymous

Preview devices have been widely available. Today, the RTM version of Windows 8 is available on MSDN and TechNet. If you are a developer, you can use it for testing. Actually, quite a few sites are already on the CV list because they passed testing. YouTube is the most distinguished one. Neither Microsoft nor Adobe is playing dirty. Their policies have been public for a long time now.Anonymous

Apparently, the DOM problem has been fixed (it wasn't a critical issue anyway). nontroppo.org/.../Hixie_DOM.html gives these results on my Laptop: Total elapsed time: 391ms Breakdown (fraction shows time relative to append time): Append: 1.00; 88ms Prepend: 0.98; 86ms Index: 0.16; 14ms Insert: 0.94; 83ms Remove: 1.36; 120ms IE10 is light and fast, but I think it will be faster on Windows 8 because of the improvements done under-the-hood.Anonymous

Nice, already updated. But when we can start using Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2? On the dev center, there's a page that says it's comming soon. But when is soon?Anonymous

@George, the issue is indeed resolved! I just installed RTM and checked it. Thanks for the heads up man :-) I have been following IE team for this issue for couple of months (connect.microsoft.com/.../ie-performance-dom-manipulation-tests). Except Try/Catch brute force stress test #3 (which is not a real world scenario btw; throwing 4000 consecutive exceptions that is..), the DOM processing is extremely fast and some major improvements have been made. Thank you IE team for these improvements and hard work!Anonymous

Is there any direct download link for IE9Anonymous

I love how Microsoft fixes their security issues, but never any normal bugs. IE9 contains lots of bugs (especially rendering bugs). Fix them! Come on!Anonymous

Windows 8 hasn't hit GA yet. Keep your "knowledge", "self-confidence" and especially your FUD to yourself. If you're unhappy with IE or Windows, there are other choices.Anonymous

Make Internet Explorer 10 available for Windows 7 for users who want it. We the users shouldn't have to upgrade to Windows 8 to use Internet Explorer 10!Anonymous

^^^ You just use only a few tabs and don't reopen your sessions. I use many tabs and do "reopen last session" after starting my PC. Randomly not working middle-button drives me mad. I go to google and "middle-click" 6 pages. Then I see that only 2 opened. Madness. BTW, you try reproducing another long-standing bug that I hate. Step 1) Open a page where you can save/download .zip (or any non-image file). Save it to some non-default location (for example, folder "test" on Desktop). Open another page where you can download non-image file. Try to save the file. Notice that IE remembered the previous folder for this file type (like all good Windows programs do). Step 2) Now try to do the same with image files. IE always shows you Library/Pictures as the save location when you try to save image from a new tab, forgetting the last save location.Anonymous

Gordon and Fduch, I think you'll find the experience a lot more pleasant if you use the Libraries feature in Windows 7+ as it is intended -- as a collation of your own folders. If you have an alternate folder you want to save pictures to by default,
- Right-click on the Pictures library in Windows Explorer, then click "Include a folder" and select that folder..... OR, find the folder in Windows Explorer and use the "Include in library" button on the toolbar.
- Choose that folder from the library locations list and click "Set save location". In the future, IE will use that directory by default, as well any application that correctly uses the Windows 7+ Libraries feature.

Where is the promised version of IE10 for Windows 7 now 4 months overdue since win8 went to RTM! Glad to see you waited for our feedback to ensure that bugs got found and fixed. What a disaster Microsoft - are you ever going to listen to the developer community again or was IE9 the last chance for that and the boat has sailed? RIP Microsoft transparency and open communication.Anonymous

I actually work with 15+ tabs most of the time. I used to use "Reopen last session" but then I switched to "Start with tabs from the last session" (purely a matter of preference). I use subsequent middle-clicking a lot when I'm searching (I use Bing, but I don't think it's related) and haven't found a problem yet with that. Maybe it's the mouse drivers? Try separating middle-clicks by 0.5s, to solve this issue. As for the second one, it's more of an annoyance than a bug. My parents (non-tech-savvy) like it. Personally, I have been using what warrens described since I got Windows 7. Easy enough.Anonymous

File dialogs should always default back to the last opened location for that file type. IE10's default is wrong. Period.Anonymous
