Ah. Evidently my College doesn't want us to use IE 9; our updates are filtered through the College servers. I'm downloading it now so that I can use it for testing when folks have problems.
Edit: ACK! I almost installed "Bing and MSN defaults" along with IE9.
I saw the error of my ways before running the installer. Whew!
