Visit Beauty of the Web: IE9 Beta Released

[dr_jimit]

Windows Internet Explorer 9

Web browsing is the No. 1 thing people do on their Windows-based PC, and as such, they increasingly expect the same experience they associate with their PC applications from their favorite Web-based e-mail service, photo site or social network site. This kind of immersive experience does not occur on the Web today, and using a browser is often associated with limited performance and interactivity. Microsoft developed Windows Internet Explorer 9 to help change this.

Review : Internet Explorer 9 Beta review -- Engadget

[6x6]

Internet Explorer 9 is available only on PCs running Windows

[topgear]

IE9 will run only on Vista SP2 and Win 7 so there's no chance for testing it in win xp unless someone comes up with some kind of hacks

and this is really very funny to read :

Web browsing is the No. 1 thing people do on their Windows-based PC

I think gaming is the No.1 thing people do on their windows based PC and for browsing many people now use linux.

@ dr_jimit - thanks for sharing the news.

[pauldmps]

I just went through the "What's new in IE 9" page in Microsoft's Website.

Looks they've heavily copied features from Google Chrome.

@ IE and Beauty of the Web in the same line

^^lol..............................

[chooza]

blazing fast web browser.downloaded and opened 15 tabs and work simultaniously,no lagging.Congrats MS

[chooza]

Downloaded and opened 15 tabs and worked simulataneously.Blazing fast browser.No Crome or FF. They are useless now and found their place in garbage bin.Congrats MS

[vickyadvani]

review looks good yaar...need to download and test the same soon

[ico]

lol IE9 still sucks.

[topgear]

too bad it is not released for XP though most of the PC users use XP anyway :

Usage share of operating systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BTW, I'm waiting for some security holes to be discovered in IE9 and I'm sure opera and ( FF, chrome ) will release a far more better version than IE9 anyway.

So have they combined tabs and the address bar in one toolbar and then went on to waste space with the title bar? LOL

So who's acting immature here?
As for Chrome and Firefox, both are great browsers and more than anything else are Free and Open Source software, and most importantly run on the platform I use. IE9 doesn't even run on the most used WINDOWS. And dude, that is EPIC FAIL

[ico]

Internet Explorer can't compare with the speed of Opera and Chrome. Nor it can compare with the extensions of Mozilla Firefox. Lastly, it has no WebM which Opera has and I prefer YouTube HTML5 over Flash.

[jayantr7]

Copied from all other major browser....Ever India's browsers are better.But I'll test it though..

Even if a begger will get $100000,his mind will still remain a beggar like....so in way too,IE is still IE..Even if IE becomes better,just few will use it because GC anf FF and Safari and Opera are there......No matter it's IE 9 or 99 ///

But really @ IE and Beauty of the Web in the same line

Free & Open source!!!. What you are paying for using IE and what the hell you get benefit from being open source? MS is a company which know what the people are going to use(An average user), the product they make, become standard.Yes in browser, they were not as active as other but FF,Google and opera do not make Desktop,Server,Office,Database products which MS do, They just make browser.thats why they just keep on realeasing new versions, which MS cant do.MS core product is not browser which is bread and butter of others.As far as most used, windows XP is moving out of machines very quickly and replacing by Win 7 so you no need to worry, MS knows it better. For FF one has to use extensions, Crome collect data and I also user Opera, just use FB on that and many features of FB do not work on Opera. Problem is with you guys, if MS do not have any feature, that others have, you start shouting with slogan"MISSED FEATURE" as without that feature, one cant do any work on web and if they include, you start Shouting "COPIED". You are not new, their were many who passed their whole life shouting against Microsoft and RIP. So start doing the work instead of useless comments.

I dont know about you guys, how do you test web browser...
But as a Software developer, We do five stage testing.
And I have to say after testing IE9 beta ...hats off....

well let me elaborate my testing with you all..
Firstl try to create same testing condition for what ever browser you are going to test.
Keep the stop watch, timer with you, some developing tools with you, like IE developer tools provided with IE9 beta this time or you can download from softpedia.

NOw note down what are you going to test.
Like Youtube open faster in which browser or which has more Calc. Engine or Which provide you smooth and fast browsing speed.

I test all of them , and found that Yes IE 9 beta does sound promising, and looks like it has an edge over OPera (Latest version) FIreFox(LatestVersion).

Ok for all of you just try this link and test it on different browser. You'll agree with my statements for sure..

HTML5 Speed Reading

I get 21 seconds on IE 9 beta and felt like never finsih with opera or firefox,
both above 110 seconds and chrome near 60 seonds..

or open website like RedBull <- awesome website

Note:- I am not fan of any of the browser or my above statement have nothing to do with Microsoft promotion, which most of you just quote by saying "MS or opera fanboy".

and what the hell you get benefit from being open source?

Software which is free with no strings attached? Freedom not being compromised? And that's only the start. er I know elaborating won't help here though...

MS is a company which know what the people are going to use(An average user), the product they make, become standard.

MS is a company, and make software for profit, nuff said. They have attained standards through their unethical policies which have gained them monopoly. Do check out the Anti Trust cases filed against MS.

Yes in browser, they were not as active as other but FF,Google and opera do not make Desktop,Server,Office,Database products which MS do, They just make browser.thats why they just keep on realeasing new versions, which MS cant do.

What is that even supposed to mean? IE6 was released in 2002, IE7 in 2007. It took MS 5 years to give tabbed browsers. It's not being not as active, it's called just holding back the web. And Why should I even care if Microsoft makes "desktop"(Operating System) while Mozilla, Google, and Opera don't?

MS core product is not browser which is bread and butter of others

So what? Mozilla, Opera, and Google give me better browsers which run natively on the platform I use. Why should I care which product is MS's core and which is NOT?

As far as most used, windows XP is moving out of machines very quickly and replacing by Win 7 so you no need to worry, MS knows it better.

If you are so keen to blindly follow MS best of luck

For FF one has to use extensions

Firefox without extensions is better than IE

Crome collect data

FYI that can be disabled, and there's Iron and Chromium (which are basically Chrome minus Google) to look into if it bothers you too much.

and I also user Opera, just use FB on that and many features of FB do not work on Opera.

Care to elaborate?

Actually you should look back at yourself and realize why you drew me to post that troll image in the first place. You are an MS fanboi who is actually so biased that he bashes Firefox and Chrome calling them to be "garbage" without anything to back his statement and then goes into his shell and claims to be victim and others to be shouting.

Open source and free browsers don't need to ( and have to ) pay any thing to promote them - we use and support them because we love them.

M$ don't always know what people want to use - why they did not introduced tab browsing then ?

Opera has "tab" browsing feature with with ver 4 which was released on 2000 and Mozilla in 2003. M$ only supporting tab browsing starting with IE7 which was released 7 years later. So who have copied tab browsing from others is obvious

what other M$ products have to do with browser ?

Still windows Xp is the most used OS and that's why every major browsers like opera, FF, chrome and even safari supports it. Remember when M$ has messed up vista with 4GB ram issue ? Why they are not promoting vista anymore and winxp still is the best competitor of win7.

M$ only promoting IE9 to boost the sell of win 7 which is just a improved version of vista SP2 anyway.

Every browser has it's pros and cons but can you name any other browser which has tons of security holes like IE - world's most insecure browser probably.

So the picture with IE may be improved with version 9 but still in the long run IE would be IE - filled with problems and misconceptions and with unfair business policy as usual.

and don't worry as usual other good browsers like chrome, ff and opera will out run IE every time with their future releases for sure.

MAC is free???? you have buy machine also to use that as far as Linux is concerned its not mainstream product niche as ever.

Software which is free with no strings attached? Freedom not being compromised? And that's only the start. er I know elaborating won't help here though...

Which freedom of you is compromised by using MS product?tell me

MS is a company, and make software for profit, nuff said. They have attained standards through their unethical policies which have gained them monopoly. Do check out the Anti Trust cases filed against MS.

So Google and Apple are not profit making companies!!They work in charity. huh In fact Google is company which want to make profit from even simply search engine.

What is that even supposed to mean? IE6 was released in 2002, IE7 in 2007. It took MS 5 years to give tabbed browsers. It's not being not as active, it's called just holding back the web. And Why should I even care if Microsoft makes "desktop"(Operating System) while Mozilla, Google, and Opera don't?

So on what you will install ur browser???? Air or water hahaha lol

So what? Mozilla, Opera, and Google give me better browsers which run natively on the platform I use. Why should I care which product is MS's core and which is NOT?

Your wish and will .who is bounding you to do so?????why making cry for this

If you are so keen to blindly follow MS best of luck

I had used MAC and Linux too and what I said, is on my experience, not like yours

Firefox without extensions is better than IE.

Then why people use extensions????? where is need?????

FYI that can be disabled, and there's Iron and Chromium (which are basically Chrome minus Google) to look into if it bothers you too much.

Their are may IE Clones too Avante,Maxthon to name few. Increase your GK Bro.

Care to elaborate?

Many, just go and find out

Fact is that Microsoft has copied from Chrome. Accept it and done it a poor manner

what they had copied???? tabbed browsing was introduced by Opera, no one make cry when other release them,then Why on MS????

Actually you should look back at yourself and realize why you drew me to post that troll image in the first place.

Same can said for you tooo. Im MS Fanboy ok, You??? Linux, MAC,Opera,FF Google,Crome....list goes on.

You are funny.

Its on you

Linux is a highly secure less-redundant mainstream Operating System with distributions existing according to one's taste - from highly easy to use like Sabayon to geeky like Gentoo.

Useless argument. People use them because they are available. With extensions or without, Mozilla Firefox is teh superior browser.

How does it matter? You raised a concern about your problem with Google Chrome is "collection of data by Google." LFC_fan just told you about Chromium which is Chrome minus data collection. He hasn't asked about IE clones.

[abhijangda]

ooooooooooo, looks like there's a huge fight between OSS and MS fans

let me make one thing clear frnds. whatever software u use proprietry or oss, it depends on user needs and his ideas. At very first everyone is taught about MS and Windows. So, its not their(comman man) mistakes that they dont know anything or know little about OSS (not saying about u chooza). One thing is for sure everyone has his own time and this applies to Microsoft also, after some years it will go down and OSS will rule computer world (or u can say software world ) and u can see that Linux users are increasing although this is a small change in percentage but even this represents a significant amount of users. ok coming to the topic.

@chooza: its good that u have written everything based on ur experience, but i think that u dont have much experience about Linux (or u can say OSS) and have used mainly Windows(or only MS products). Just give it a one more try frnd, u will really find it good. Also the freedom u r asking about is a matter of concern for developers and programmers. Microsoft didnt distribute its source code freely, we have to buy it to make changes in them. And even then we dont have legal permissions to distribute it to others who are needy. But with OSS we have this freedom although we may not get source code for free (the fees will be many times lesser than that offered by MS) but we could atleast distribute freely. Please read more about open source i m sure you will be impressed by this philosophy.

Also Microsoft products have always been a favourite target for hackers and IE9 will also be . So just pray it will not contain many bugs.

Also MS cant beet OSS.

[topgear]

But with OSS we have this freedom although we may not get source code for free (the fees will be many times lesser than that offered by MS) but we could atleast distribute freely. Please read more about open source i m sure you will be impressed by this philosophy.

The source code of OSS softwares can be obtained freely and that's why they are called Open Source Software - if you have to pay something to get the source code it's simply is not a open source app.

================================================== ====

Why all M$ fanboys have to bring other M$ products into limelight to prove the that IE has really something to talk about - we are just talking about browsers and not the the entire product line of M$.

but as they have started I'll answer accordingly :

Shame u guys.

No one is blaming all M$ products - it's just the IE made by them and it's for good reason .

I prefer to use Xp ( which I think the greatest OS of all time and it's made by M$ ) and office Xp than any other apps coz they fits my needs perfectly. Now Xp has many security holes, bugs and so does office XP but I'm not blaming them coz they are really good.

But in case of IE it's a totally different story altogether - a browser needs to be more secure, user friendly and bug free which IE was never and will not be ever.

Ever compared the number of security holes of IE with other browsers ??

Originally Posted by gopi_vbboy

IT industry does not depends on M$ and IE entirely - I think you have not heard about PHP, Apache and MySQL which are the most used web server apps and they are either free or open source.

Enterprises can use and deploy any browser they want ( they just need to mod the windows installation and components ) to replace IE.

Now M$ makes windows media player - is it better than KMplayer, GOMPlayer, MPlayer, VLCPlayer ??

Hotmail is by M$ - is it better than gmail ??

Granted that IE still the most used browser but it does not mean that's it's superior or better.

Many people use IE because it's comes with windows freely and many people even don't know there are many better browser than IE exists and as IE is a M$ product most people believe that's it's the only good and safe browser and M$ advertises IE really good.

But the picture is changing slowly and FF and chrome is gaining popularity - as people are getting more concerned about browsers IE usage is dropping and it's for good.

at last found a benchmark of IE9 beta

IE9 beta beaten by chrome 6 beta

check this out :

^^ fine u have to accept the fact...
OSS is used in servers

but most enterprise proj are programmed in Java or .NET
