Microsoft has unveiled a public beta test of its next web browser, Internet Explorer 9 this week.
IE9 supports several new web technologies, including HTML5 video and CSS3 layouts, and uses a new Javascript engine.
Like the latest beta version of Firefox, it is expected to also support the use of a computer’s graphics chip to accelerate the on-screen composition of complex web pages. It will be released for Windows Vista (with Service Pack 2) and Windows 7, but not Windows XP. The launch was first hinted at on a special website promising “a more beautiful web”, then confirmed on a Microsoft blog.
