looks good love the minimalist design. It's great that MS is finally sorting itself out, with their os's, phones, browser and software.

@carkitter thanks for that. Before some browsers like Firefox or IE would not import from Chrome. Only Opera and others which annoyed me unless I missed something somewhere

Hmmm... that's not what I see at all.

I got a notification on my PC from Adobe that my Flash software needed to be updated to 10.1 I checked the IE9 settings and their is no Flash installed but since YouTube runs fine and Adobe's software is full of security flaws and causes many crashes, I refused the update offer and will run without Flash for as long as possible. I also do not run Adobe PDF Reader on my PC either - one less security concern to deal with.

Doh! Now I am seeing the smilie icons but the words are offset to the right just as you posted above!

...And now some of the smilies have exited stage left!
Dunno what changed

This post written without smilies showing and without the offset post box.
It seems to come and go - I'm not sure why - as I've had both occur while posting today.

I'm enjoying the manual typing of BBcode. I posted 6 links manually in one post today.

Being beta is the cause of these. You should report it.

In my twitter account I read a tweet saying:

Internet Explorer: one of the most wonderful tools to download Firefox or Chrome.

I'm well aware of the ramifications of using Beta software. I normally run a mile from being the guinea pig but in this case, I'm happy to experiment with IE9.

The way I see it, there are two Microsofts: the bad old one that created XP & IE6 with little thought to security and the increasingly irrelevant Windows Mobile platform, and the new awesome Microsoft that created Windows 7 & Microsoft Security Essentials, has heavily fortified Office against security threats, and has produced IE9.
I'm not sure yet which category Windows Phone 7 falls into.
