Microsoft IE9 To Be Released on March 14

Finally, the latest version from Microsoft, the Internet Explorer 9 would be made ‎available from March the 14th. This was a very anticipated event. ‎

Microsoft has gone for a minimalist look, just providing a simple URL/Search bar, thus ‎leaving more space for browsing related activities. A built in download manager, ‎incorporated for the first time, would enable the user to pin sites and bookmarks on the ‎task-bar provided on the Windows. Hardware acceleration has been enabled for viewing ‎the HTML5 based video systems. The new version also features ActiveX filtering and ‎other security related features.

The Company has ‎displayed very few selective features only in their display version, there are other new ‎applications too, about which they are tight lipped, so as to create a sense of surprise ‎and to raise their level of expectation and curiosity. The consumer interest in the ‎product has reached new levels and they are curious to know whether the competitive ‎momentum would be maintained in the days to come.‎ The version would be released officially at the South by Southwest Conferences and Festivals at Austin, Texas on March 14th. and made available for downloading soon thereafter.
