It breaks a lot of web apps however, some of our web based e-mail software won't work anymore in IE9 until it gets patched.

See, I thought IE9 was good to, until I tried to do anything with it. 2 Different CMS on 3 websites that I use wont work with it, for me that kills it. Sure I could run multiple browsers but it is not worth it. Same way when Chrome first came out and it wouldnt open PDFs without crashing or freezing most of the time. When I tried Opera (~3-4 years ago now), it was fast but often froze on my laptop.
Sure a browser can be nice and have all the features in the world but if it wont let me do what I want to do then it is useless.
*For the record I am on chrome right now, and despite its large size on disk (makes roaming profile at work pretty large, so that sucks) it is still the best I have tried in a while. Firefox isnt bad either, but I find the syncing with Chrome is far simpler than anything Firefox plugins were able to offer.
