Next Generation Internet Explorer offers Faster Browsing
The next version of the Internet Explorer browser will offer much smoother graphics than its predecessor, Microsoft has said. IE9 will offer faster JavaScript performance and support for the HTML5 standard, meaning that it won’t be limited by the capabilities of plug-ins such as Adobe’s Flash.

IE9 will be able to work a computer’s graphics processor to its limits, offering much faster and smoother visuals, the company said, after it released a second developer preview of the browser.

“The IE9 Platform Preview shows the significant performance gains that web pages enjoy when a browser takes full advantage of the PC’s hardware capabilities,” said Dean Hachamovitch of Microsoft. However, the company has previously stated that IE9 will not be compatible with Windows XP and will only run on the Windows Vista and Windows 7 platforms.

Meanwhile, a report from web-monitoring firm Net Applications showed that Microsoft is losing ground in the browser market to Google. IE’s share has slipped to under 60 per cent while Chrome’s share grew from 6.1 per cent to 6.7 per cent in April.
