Complaining about the lack of a feature that comes "stock" with a browser is a little silly, unless the feature wasn't available at all on other platforms.
IESpell sucks, and there aren't many others for IE. Firefox's built in spell check underlines words in red - its awesome.

Besides we've already had this discussion and concluded more don't want to proof read, its slow and outdated when FF has a spell check that makes is faster and easier.

The menu option is even in IE yet doesn't work. "Show Picture" is completely greyed out when right clicking images. Dumb. I shouldn't have to do 3 actions to complete something that another browser lets me do in 1 action.

History was probably the wrong word. I mean the URL drop down. If its empty in Firefox and I click the URL drop down it gives me a list of my most visited sites. Awesome. In IE it gives me crap sites that differ from the list of most popular sites displayed in the new tab.

Also, if I am on a site and click the drop down it gives me lists of similar sites I have visited before. Thus if I want to get to a site then cannot remember the exact area I was in, I click the drop down and look at the history of all links I've visited at this site. In IE I get the same list of crap unrelated sites.

Microsoft really needs some new designers, cause IE9 blows.
