Windows Phone 7 uses IE9 and that is a darned good browser.

I dont know what browser Windows Mobile uses but its irrelevant since Windows Phone 7 replaced it.

  darned good browser.

…compared to IE7. Is it not a mix of IE7 and IE9?

Pre-Mango update, it was a mix of IE7 and IE8. After the Mango update, it's IE9's rendering engine, which gives it HTML5 capabilities.

Well, Microsoft's marketing certainly works. IE9 is certainly better than IE8.

However, nothing gives me confidence that IE 9 will not be the new IE 6 and so I wish for IExplorer to just vanish completely.

You see, IExplorer 6 was also a darned good browser. But did it hold the web back? Yes it did. And for all the bullshit marketing coming from Microsoft, IExplorer 9 is doing it again. Nothing really changed.
