Of course IE9 fails to excite you, you've been anti-Microsoft since CBS took over ZDNet and they redesigned the site. So your article is no surprise given your past history in recent months.
The bigger question is, is a web browser supposed to excite you? For most people it doesn't. But what you can get from IE9 is that its built by a power house company with some of the best software engineers around. You'll also know its going to be supported for years to come and won't just disappear a few months after release. Its web standards compatible. Its what all the big companies will be upgrading to. If you wait until the final release you will be quite surprised. Or maybe you won't, as I said, given your history I don't think anything Microsoft does at this point will excite you.
