IE9 Beta issues

Hi
I know IE9 is still in beta for now but there are some things maybe you should check before it ships and people start having trouble with this.
Note As IE9 is still in beta i can't say if this issues are a bug in it that will be fixed before shipping or a change in the way IE9 handles scripts - similar to what happened between IE7 and IE8. Just warning you so you will be aware.
1 - in main site the upper right options (logout, cart(0) and My Account if you are logged in) will show up one on top of the other instead of side by side - wich with current color scheme makes the second two almost invisible.
2 - the offline documentation (at least the TGB one since is one am using now and noticed this - but since all are similar i would assume all to suffer from this) makes IE9 freeze and the page to keep beeing recovered.
My advice is get the free beta from microsoft and install it on one machine (or virtual machine) and make some tests, and/or contact microsoft regarding what changes are planned regarding handling scripts on IE9
Best Regards

As for the acid test - All IE (even after beta) score poorly in it
it's a known fact that microsoft doesn't really ever comply completly to the standards - they like making own standards
i have to say that IE7 and IE8 were actually a lot better than previous on that subject - however eben with those i used during betas and rarelly anything regarding web standards were changed after release
So i would say with about 95% certainty this problem will persist after release
Like i said - just wanted to give an heads up on this so that whoever is in charge of the web part will keep an eye out

Test
IE9 gets terrible results on the Acid test as you can see here ( http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/38/Acid3_3.png/800px-Acid3_3.png ). IE9 does not comply with the latest CSS, HTML, or JS versions, yet. I suggest using a stable production browser to browse the site.
I will look into IE9, however we cannot make adjustments to the site based on a beta version that does not meet web standards.
Thanks,
Anthony
