Microsoft’s Next Internet Explorer

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer has been a leader in web browsers for years. Before Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer was the running force behind the largest source of information that is the Internet. With each generation becoming more and more dependant on the Internet, Microsoft tries to stay ahead of the crowd, anticipating what users will need next.

Back in November, it was suspected that Microsoft’s next Internet Explorer, IE9, would have HTML5 support, allow faster JavaScript, and provide hardware acceleration. This just means that it will be better and faster than IE7 or IE8.

Now, Internet Explorer 9 has been revealed at Microsoft’s MIX 10. The MIX 10 is a three-day conference for web experts looking for the newest and coolest website developments. With today being its last day, the MIX 10 has brought to light Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9. At the conference, Microsoft confirmed the rumors that IE9 will support HTML5, and have faster JavaScript and browsing capabilities. They also told developers that the updated browser would not be available for anyone out there who still has Windows XP.
