windows IE (Internet Explorer) 9 Released

[daredevil]

Microsoft’s long-awaited browser update, Internet Explorer 9, is now available for download from BeautyOfTheWeb The announcement of IE9′s official launch came during the Microsoft event at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Conference in Austin, Texas, on Monday.

 

Rather than a mere update, IE9 is a complete rebuild from IE8, which many used, but also complained about.

 

The next big new feature in IE9 is the “One Box,” which doubles as an address bar and a search bar. When searching through the Once Box, results are pulled up instantly, meaning you may not have to go to the search engine to find what you’re looking for.The One Box comes pre-loaded with Microsoft’s Bing search engine, but Google, Facebook and many others can be installed through the Add-On page.

 

One of the potentially most significant aspects to IE9 is its performance: According to Engadget, Microsoft’s new browser is faster than IE8 or Firefox 3.6.15, and is almost as fast as Google Chrome. IE9 also offers advanced support for HTML 5, and emerging web standard.

Updated on my home PC to IE 9. Job PC still uses IE8 since it's windows XP.

 

Personally I like IE 9. Forums will be compatible with IE9 ASAP.
