Software giant Microsoft has released the first platform preview version of Internet Explorer 9 (IE9), which promises to match Firefox's commitment to standards (HTML5, CSS3 etc.). IE9 will also introduce a new JavaScript engine to improve rendering speed and web application performance; it claims this will faster than most of its rivals, except Google Chrome and Opera.
Lower is betterThe preview can be downloaded below but, being a limited engine-code test, it is only of use for developers and does not yet comprise what you would expect from a fully fledged website browser. There are also likely to be many bugs. Further details can be found on
Microsoft's IE Blog.
