Is is fine to upgrade IE8 to IE9 on Win 7 64-bit OS with NIS 2011 installed ?

I believe IE9 has some issues and Norton Internet Security 2011 is not fully compatible with IE9 as yet (perhaps due to the browser's inherent flaws). Hence, is it safe to upgrade from IE8 to IE9 now or should I wait for Symantec to release a fix for IE9 related issues, esp. on 64-Bit versions of Windows 7 OS.
