Microsoft Formally Launches IE 9 At SXSWi

          Microsoft is going to release its newer version of Internet Explorer, “IE9” formally. The launch is going to take place on Monday at “South By Southwest Interactive Festival” (SXSWi) which is an interactive place to launch.

          The senior director of Internet Explorer “Ryan Gavin” said that “The browser offers more beautiful web” and he also mentioned that “There are few surprises left“.

          There are certain improvements in Internet Explorer 9 like less startup time and a new JavaScript engine called as Chakra (which is proved to be faster at the WebKit SunSpider benchmark test), occupies less space than the previous one’s and a way to pin links to the task bar. It seems “the competitor’s like firefox, chrome and opera are not able to beat the java script used in the Internet Explorer 9”.

          It has a new security feature “do not track” and improved ActiveX filter, to filter ActiveX contents from the webpages. The browser is not available to the users of Windows XP and is available only for the user’s of Windows Vista and Windows 7.
