@Bing Bloat Bar: just uninstall it and use the One Bar. I haven't used search toolbars since the search box was added in IE 7 Beta 2.

Herman, very nice! Sorry I missed that. I just recently subscribed to the RSS feed for this blog, and haven't had a chance to catch up on all of the historical posts. Thanks for the info.

@ken: There's another change to the add-ons experience: IE9 notifies you when new add-ons are installed to ensure that only the ones given your explicit consent can run in the browser. See my earlier post for more information: blogs.msdn.com/.../add-ons-staying-in-control-of-your-browsing-experience.aspx

Not the IE9 team's fault but please work with the Bing Bar guys to make it THE fastest addon for IE. It's so horribly bloated, esp os slightly slower computers like netbooks. Bing Bar slows IE9 maximum.

Nice to see such a humble post...

This is a step in the right direction, although I'd also be in favor of making it harder for applications to sneak in IE addons during software installs for unrelated products. I can catch them, but my parents never do. Removing addons from their IE is a monthly job.

If the addons you're wanting to use are slow enough to trigger the dialog, why don't you just increase the amount of time it's set to trigger on?

To be honest, I find this feature annoying. The warning always pops up when I launch IE with other applications that access internet, which happens often. I don't have any unnecessary plugins, it is just wasting my time.

Sure it's a nice feature, but I use an add-on that frequently gets reported when I launch IE9. I get it... the add-on is a little slow... but I still want to use it. I'd appreciate if it stopped bugging me about it every time.
