I am trying out FM 9, and also find the cursor is extremely slow to 
respond to the arrow keys.  (XP on a 3GHz CPU, 1.5GB RAM, and no such 
problem in any other app. including FM 7.0, with any number of other 
apps running.)

And I can't BELIEVE they STILL haven't fixed the screen refresh bug!!!! 
  Keep your Ctrl + L shortcut handy, folks.

I'll stop saying Microsoft is arrogant when
Windows stops saying "Welcome" and instead asks "May I?"
