Microsoft is generating obtainable to anyone interested a seventh developer preview develop of its Online Explorer (IE) nine browser on November 17.The latest preview create is downloadable as of noon ET these days from your IETestDrive internet site.The new preview, which follows by nearly three weeks the sixth IE developer release, consists of new demos,
Office Pro Plus 2010 Key, such as HTML5 Galactic, Shakespeare;s Tag Cloud and an HTML5 Sudoku Solver game. The preview — unlike the beta release — does not include the new user interface.Microsoft is claiming the newest preview create consists of tweaks affecting positively its JavaScript performance. Microsoft is claiming the latest IE 9 preview is the fastest browser as measured by the SunSpider benchmark. (It sounds like Mozilla is disputing Microsoft;s claims on that front, however.)Microsoft officials said that 13 million people have downloaded the IE nine test builds since the company first made its browser accessible to testers in March, 2010. (Less than a month ago,
Office 2007 Pro, that number was 10 million, by the way.)I am one of those who who has downloaded the IE 9 beta (released in September 2010). I;ve had mixed feelings and mixed results. I;ve finally gotten used to the UI changes Microsoft has made (for the most part),
Office 2007 Professional Key, but I am not making use of a lot of the new functionality.Example: I have stopped using web page pinning because I have found it too confusing. I am one of those IE users who have lots and lots of tabs open. When I use pinned sites,
Office Pro Plus 2010 Key, I lose track of where my open tabs are… are they under this pinned website, or that one? I also don;t seem to use many sites that Microsoft and some content producers have optimized to work with IE nine. Instead, I run into a number of sites that don;t work quite appropriate with IE 9. (I;ve been having a heck of a time to get the new Twitter web site to work with my IE nine beta,
Office 2007 Activation, for example.)Microsoft officials still are not providing any information as to when the final IE nine will be released to the Internet. A number of us are thinking before mid-2011 is the likely target.I;m curious to hear from readers who have been using IE 9 test builds. What is/isn;t working for you? What do you like and not? I would be happy to see a new beta with the most recent UI updates, but ther;s no word as to when or if that may be coming….
