That sucks, I'm sorry to hear. I wasn't there back in the "good 'ol days", so I can't comment on the past. What I can tell you is that the team we have working on IE8 and IE9 is really serious about shipping the best product out there, and

... and it doesn't work quite right on the iPad. There is a hovering menu bar which is fully blank. I'm surprised they didn't test the site on the iPad before pushing it live. [Edit] Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/DxTKY.png

Disclaimer: I work on the IE9 Team I can't overemphasize the need to submit feedback through the proper channels, namely connect.microsoft.com. We continuously process copious amounts of feedback (positive, negative, neutral, the whole gamu

Does it work with an iPad? Is there a disadvantage using it with an iPad instead of a smartphone?

Was the refund automatic? I am quite sure I paid the $5 but don't recall seeing a refund. Maybe I got it but I'd love to know where to look ...

Thanks, it's been a lot of hard work for a lot of people making all of this happen ... I am glad to see you're happy, but am most curious what else you think can be improved. How can I help you get to the 100% happiness point? Please feel f
