Microsoft released their Ready to Web (RTW) version and already the browser has seen more than 36 million downloads. And yes through the complete series of events right from the platform previews to the beta to the release candidate and now the release to web version, we have seen a completely new side of Microsoft, where it is interacting more with its users and taking their feedback to reclaim its lost aura back from Firefox and more recently Chrome.
Right from the User Interface to performance, privacy, security and integrity with the OS, IE 9 has have a complete overhaul and for once you will feel Internet Explorer being fast like the other browsers. Although Windows XP users will be disappointed for not being able to install it, Windows 7 users surely would be going to love it with its new website pinning feature to the taskbar where you can pin sites which you frequently visit and get updates without even opening the full browser window.
Other notable improvements include:
* Clean, lightweight, streamlined and compact user interface.
* Download Manager with ability to pause and restart a download.
* Tab page listing the frequently visited pages.
* Search option through the address bar with search suggestions just like firefox and chrome.
* GPU hardware acceleration to speed up video streaming or online gaming.
* Tracking Protection with some websites to help keep information private.
