The newest version of Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) Internet Explorer
will feature full hardware acceleration and a new Javascript engine
that engages multiple processor cores for faster rendering, the
company has announced. The new version aso reverses the software
giant's reluctance to adapt to HTML 5.

The company released a developer preview of Internet Explorer 9 at the
MIX10 developer conference in Las Vegas on Tuesday.


Rough Draft
The preview is not a fully functioning browser, lacking crucial
tidbits such as an address bar, for instance.

It's designed to give developers a feel for the core capabilities of
what will eventually be released.

Microsoft isn't saying when it will come out. In a statement
Wednesday, the company said it expects to release new preview versions
every eight weeks until the release goes to beta, but it did not say
when that might occur.

The new version will feature full hardware acceleration of graphics
and text, support for HTML 5, CSS3 and a new Javascript engine that
takes advantage of multicore processors.

The advances are meant to reduce limitations on Web design and
development imposed by current implementations, Microsoft said.
Consequently, the new browser will not work on Windows XP.

But your anger at Microsoft is misplaced.
WindowsXP is DEAD.

IE9 inability to run on WindowsXp is not a big deal, given Windows7
alleviates pain of Vista.

Abandon WindowsXP already, it's 2010, it's not 2000.

You people need some real world experience and get off your geek asses
to get it. Windows XP is alive and well. As a matter of fact I know
if one very large Airline company that will not upgrade to Vista or
any other new MS product until the product has a proven 5 year tract
record.
They still use XP as do many others. I run XP in two machines and
Vista in two. My next machine will come with XP installed even if I
have to pay extra.

Just because you are a relatively soon to be minority xp user, You refuse to
move on to newer technology and yet you expect Microsoft to keep supporting
your antique operating system. Does this really make sense or dollars for
that fact? Should Ford keep building its edsel just because somebody liked
it? Black & white television worked just fine but technology evolved and now
we have High definition 1" thick flat screens. Where is the logic in your
post. Xp was not a very good operating system and if you say it was then you
really do not have much experience with it. When xp came out it had all
kinds of problems and has had to be stuffed full of patches to the point of
ridiculous yet it still has flaws. When does Microsoft say enough is enough
and it is time to move forward? Oh wait they already did and maybe you
should as well !

This is a Vista newsgroup remember not bloody old XP. If you want some
sympathy post to a XP newsgroup.

It also won't work with 1) MS-DOS 2) Windows 1 3) Windows 2 4) Windows 3.n
5) Windows 95 6) Windows NT 7) Windows 98 or 8) Windows ME (or CP/M or Unix
or Linux or BSD or OS/2 for that matter). Somewhere in the world one can
probably find users of any of even the most obscure OS and that is fine if
that is what makes them happy. But these users cannot expect support for
every version of every operating system ever conceived of just because they
happen to be using it.

So your suggestion is that an OS that 70% of Windows users are using
is an "obscure OS" ?

I can't find anything in my posting that called XP "obscure". I even still
have a few machines running it but these are machines that I would _never_
consider using for web browsing or email or anything else requiring
reliable security. XP, if it is not "obscure" right now, will quickly
become so since life support has been withdrawn. I had a wonderful 1969
Fiat Spyder and drove the hell out of it but I wouldn't expect to go down
to my neighborhood auto parts store and buy parts to fix it in 2010.

That's because is a Fiat, which can be considered obscure to
begin with, not because it's 2010.

Consequently, the new browser will not work on Windows XP.

The alpha might, but according to Mary Jo Farley at
http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=...col1;post-5572
"[Microsoft's] Hachamovitch said in a Q&A with press and
analysts following the keynote that IE 9 will not support
XP. (No big surprise there.) "

Which doesn't necessarily mean it won't work.

There are lots of things that aren't 'supported', yet work
nonetheless.

Wow you really are a idiot!!..Also you obviously cannot read either! I said
soon to be a minority.. 2014 is soon !By then windows 7 will be a
majority...Also while you are at it you might want to check the latest
numbers.

You're sadly misinformed. XP is not antique. First, MS is committed to
supporting it with security updates through 2014. Second, while it had
some initial holes, the service packs fixed most of those. The result
was a fairly stable and efficient OS. Vista, OTOH, was a loser. In
fact, it was such a loser that MS named SP3 for Vista "Win 7" just to
get rid of the association. Win7 is finally a moderately good platform
(as SP3 usually is), although it too needs some refinement.

Meanwhile the large majority of business users have stuck with XP.
While you and your home computer can run most any OS with little
impact on anyone's bottom line, most corporations are very cautious
about OS upgrades that will cause their business to fail. For that
reason, Vista has been adopted by almost no one... and Win7 is too new
to be of significance yet.

The last survey I saw (six months old now) showed Windows XP with over
70% of the market. Until Win7 gains acceptance (and after Vista, IT is
gun shy) XP will continue to be a significant player.

You should try looking outside your little world of home desktop use
and live in the real world.
