@Philippe IE9 RC1 on Win7, loads the woff file in IE9 standards document mode (it doesn't when in IE8 document mode) takes 2 seconds to load, though @Georg non-updated JS libraries that didn't work with IE9 might have lead to a nostalgic mood for IE8-mode. Finally switching to IE=edge these days here because of a delayed Prototype update.
