Micrsoft launches new explorer IE9 beta

Microsoft is back to take its internet explorer turf from Google Chrome and Firefox with newly launched beta version of Internet Explorer 9 (IE9). Microsoft claims that IE9 delivers faster speed as it uses HTML5 and new web technologies like CSS3 and SVG2 and GPU for acceleration.

Check out the new developer capabilities of Internet Explorer 9 here at IE9 Test Drive.

IE9 will only be available for Windows Vista and Windows 7 -- those still using XP will have to stay with IE8.

There are many new features in IE9.

Some of them are listed below,

- A completely new design
- Pinned sites
- A download manager
- Enhanced tabs
- New tab page
- Search directly in the address bar
- Notification bar
- Add-on performance advisor
- Hardware acceleration.

Using Internet Explorer 9, you can pin sites like Hotmail, CNN and Facebook to your taskbar and then launch them like an app. To pin, just grab the tab in the browser and drag it to your taskbar.

You can Download IE9 beta from this link.
