Why the thumbnails aren’t showing in IE9?

I get a quick awkward email this morning when a client emailed me and told me something wrong with… IE9? So I went on and download IE9 preview to check out if I need to… Debug again.

It turned out to be the bug in IE9 Preview, or probably I should say it is just a beta (?). I find it lack on speed (very usual IE) and still bugging too.

However, good thing is, IE9 support some commonly used CSS3 properties, but not as much as I thought it will. Simple things like text-shadow should be in the list!!!

The built-in Developer Tools is definitely an added point to IE. Of all the Developer Tools in browsers (Safari and Chrome) I find IE9 has the simplest user interface, and it is useful too. Like how FireBug did, I can edit the code as I wish.

Just so you might lost, like I did. To enter an address you need to go to “File” -> “Open” and place in the address. IE9 Preview has the most simplest interface of all browsers, actually that was what I’m aftering, see how Google Chrome did it

But anyhow, it seems like IE9 Preview is mostly for offline testing eh?

The IE team is definitely heading the right direction!

P/S: By the way, what is with the font rendering doing in IE9?!
