Microsoft unveils Internet Explorer 9





Finally came the beta of Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer
This time the software in question surprised me, I did not expect such a radical change after the recent failures of explorer 6 and 7 and the actual basicity of explorer 8
Microsoft has finally decided to put head and then affixed to write code
The Key to this version of IE is the speed, pages load like they have never charged before, this new browser is also fully compatible with the 'HTML 5, the software that promises to bring great games, videos, music and more in Web pages without using plugins or additions.
To emphasize the change just go to google and do a search.
will notice that even as we are still typing in the search is automatic and immediate, this feature called instant google there for some time but very few were using the browser natively. It is no longer so.
course microsoft could not avoid the classic stupid mistake: IE 9 is only for Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit) and Vista (32 bit). It is therefore not available for xp (I remember that about 60% of the world's PCs use Windows XP). So who decided to remain in the classic XP or upgrade to a more "modern" use of the system or something different
My final assessment is excellent, this new browser promises really good, it would be stupid on the part of Microsoft does not work to its full potential.
For downloads, I refer you to this link
I also do a couple of screen shots
