Days before, kicked off by a hipstertastic soiree at the SXSW convention, the final build of Internet Explorer 9 was made publicly available. You can now download it from the Beauty of the Web site. Till now, users respond well to this benchmark web browser of IE. Don’t wait to have a try!
What’s new in IE 9 final release?
Installation Changes
3 Microsoft has split the installer for IE9 into four versions, depending on your operating system, so be sure that you download the correct one. Different versions are available for Windows 7 x86, Windows 7 x64, Windows Vista x86, and Windows Vista x64, and Microsoft's site ought to auto-detect your OS. While not the most convenient download, it's not the kind of thing for which we would dock the score.
Interface Improvements
The browser interface has undergone an enormous change, following the trend of minimizing the layout to maximize screen space. Microsoft takes an approach interestingly different than its competitors, which placed the tabs above the location bar. In IE9, the tabs reside by default on the same row as the location bar, although you can switch this via a context menu. However, if you choose the Show Tabs on a Separate Row option, the tabs will move below the location bar--not above it, as Chrome, Firefox 4, and Opera have them.
Sites As Apps
Internet Explorer 9 lets you turn your favorite websites into launch icons on your taskbar, essentially creating Web apps. All you have to do is grab the tab of the site you're visiting, and drag it down to the taskbar. This creates an icon in your taskbar based on the site's favicon (the little picture that sits next to the address bar). If a favicon is not available, then Windows uses the standard IE logo.
Jumplists
Pinned sites may have a few minor problems at the moment, but the new jumplist feature is a great addition to IE9. Once you've pinned a site such as Twitter, Facebook or even PC World to your taskbar, just right-click on the icon to see a selection of shortcuts for that site. Right-click on Facebook, for example, and you have quick access to your Newsfeed, Messages, Events and Friends list. Twitter's jumplist options include the ability to write a new tweet, see your direct messages, mentions, favorites and search.
