Work continues on the Microsoft Internet Explorer 9, since the browser that has been shown in preliminary version at MIX10 in Las Vegas, complete with a conference for experts to explain these improvements and future implementations.
The new browser, though it has shown the new interface that probably would be conceptually similar to that seen on recent Office 2007 and 2010, has fielded several new already achieving modest improvements over its predecessor.
The first and obvious step forward has been achieved in terms of performance, with a 55/100 in the popular Acid3 test: it is a given absolutely unsatisfactory However, it is a substantial improvement over the miserable 20/100 embedded as a technical knockout blow to Internet Explorer 8, well away from a perfect score from Opera, Safari and Chrome.
The most important changes are as always under the skin of the new browser and see the stage entrance of the new Javascript engine Chakra, which promises excellent performance, which is now the sum necessary to support CSS3 style sheets, for HTML 5 and SVG1.1. All elements that, at least in the intentions of Microsoft engineers, should enable the browser made in Redmond to reach the direct competitors in terms of performance and compatibility with web standards.
The news is true, however, another, probably will not support Internet Explorer 9 Windows XP! Undoubtedly painful decision, however, dictated by the inadequacy of an operating system is old and not able to better support the various features of the new browser and in particular the expected function of hardware acceleration using the GPU video card, which leverage technologies and APIs DirectWrite Direct2D.
a move that many define as risky but in fact will really help the development of IE9, allowing Microsoft to focus only on Vista and the new Windows 7 to recover the ground lost over the years than fierce competition. For
those who want to begin to test the quality of the new browser the Redmond has made available the download the preview version of its new IE9, however it is recommended primarily for Web developers or experts, given the instability and bugs that are inevitably At this early stage of development.
