You behind a corp filter of some sort? In my case is starts to load, blinks a bit, then puts up a dialog saying "Microsoft Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close". Microsoft is quite concerned and apologetic as they go on to say "We are sorry for the inconvenience." and provide the opportunity to send them an error report - "to help us improve Microsoft Internet Explorer". They are so kind and thoughtful. They also provide a [Debug] option, but clicking on that only brings up an Unhandled Exception somewhere in the midst of a zillion lines of hex stuff. -ralph

From my perspective I don't want an "experience" when using the web. I want to get the information I need as quickly and as directly as possible. Most of the last 8 years of innovation that they're pushing is pointless IMO. Not that I don't think IE sucks, just that the reason they want to kill it doesn't resonate at all.
