Windows Internet Explorer 9 (abbrreviated as IE9) is the upcoming version of the Internet Explorer web browser from Microsoft.It is currently available as a public beta version,released on September,2010.IE9 Beta is clean, lean, fast and slick.IE9 supports all CSS# selectors,improved JavaScript performance,and embedded Icc v2 or v4 color profiles support via Windows color System. Probably the most obvious change in IE9 is the minimalist interface. According to Microsoft execs, the browser should now take a backseat to the website.
Like Chrome, Opera and Safari, IE9 Beta shows you a thumbnail view of recently visited sites, but adds a small indication of how actively you've been using that site. This feature can be turned off too. But the biggest change in IE9 is a new type of bookmarking. You can now open a website and drag the tab down to the taskbar to 'pin' it there. Then onwards, clicking on the icon in the taskbar brings up a new window to the website.
Right clicking on the icon will bring up a contextual menu, specific to that site (for example, links that can take you directly to sub sections in that site). IE9 also features better GPU acceleration. So if your PC has a dedicated graphics card, you'll notice speed improvements.
Take a look at the features, and you'll see that IE has been learning from its competitors. Like Chrome, IE9 now features a unified search and address bar; the default search provider is Microsoft's Bing, but you can always add more (and make it the default too).
Unfortunately, IE9 Beta is only available to Windows 7 & Vista users. Why Microsoft chose to intentionally shut out the mass of Windows XP users is unknown, but the reports suggest it could be because Windows XP does not support DirectX10 and some hardware acceleration, some of the main features of IE9.
