Internet Explorer 9 Beta
Licence: FreewareThe download includes the versions for Windows Vista and 7 (32- / 64-Bit)_______________________________Experience the brand new beta
Microsoft has released the first public beta of Internet Explorer 9 the latest in its drive to update look and feel of its web browser, now similar in its minimalist style to those of Chrome and Firefox. The interface is stripped down to the bare essentials, but promises a lot more than meets the eye, and in fact, more than the competition.Sleek new design
Microsoft’s aim of delivering rich immersive sites in a browser whose uncanny resemblance to a mere windows application window is hard not to be impressed by. Gone are the days of hefty toolbars, random icons sprawled all over the place, not to mention some rather anaesthetic colour combos. Clear, clean and simple are definitely 3 adjectives applicable to the new MS layout, following competing browser designers' decision of placing tabs at the top of the window right next to the integrated URL and search bar.Blown away
Other developments in IE9 are perhaps new to the browser, but certainly not to the scene. Often visited sights, usage indicator, pop-up notifications from the bottom of the page pretty much belong to the norm these days, and that without the slicker transfer animations of its Google competitor, Chrome. However IE9 does offer more speed in general and promises users they will be blown away with the visual results in the browser.Technically strong
So what is IE9’s appeal? Well, as well as the minimalist design freeing up screen real estate, the background data crunching is certainly worth a mention, with faster, interoperable and hardware accelerated rendering speed of text and images, fantastic feature interaction with Windows 7 and the integration of Microsoft Silverlight, important for future HTML5 junkies.System Requirements:
