Microsoft Starts Planning Internet Explorer 9

Its going to be hard for them to catch up with the other browsers.

 

IE is already lost his market i think, the only way i think why it still exist is that IE is one packet with window OS so that why it stiill exist. I have in IE in my computer but i never touch it, and the internet cafe all around my place is using mozzila or chrome....so i think the one that still using IE is a people that too lazy to install another browser and choose to use what window offer......

 

I hope that the new IE9 will be faster than IE8. Now FireFox much faster and more conveniently...

 

To be honest, Microsoft rocked the PC world with Windows 7 OS.
So this time, the PC users will definitely expect a top class browser from Mircosoft.

 

I'm hoping that since microsoft has began to book it's ideas up with it's OS, that maybe it's time their software followed suit... Though I'm not a massive firefox fan myself, I do believe that microsoft can learn a lot from it's success

 

They have not. As noted on their IEBlog, IE9 is already a dismal failure and far behind where all other browsers are right now. When it comes out in two years, it will be an additional two years behind, technically.

 

They are unhappy with the slow progress and differing implementations of the various CSS3 modules, and will not be including any CSS3 functionality in IE8; instead they will be producing their own, alternative standard, which they are codenaming CSS.2012

 

I just want to say sorry to Microsoft because I am not at all care about IE. I am pretty happy with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

 

Firefox has so many add-ons which are can improve your experience and make many routine tasks easier. Google Chrome is the fastest browsers on windows 7. But IE 9 will attract your eyes in the future.

 

The best use of IE is to use it to download Firefox

 

IE9 to include alternative ‘CSS.2012′ standard, only a joke?

 

haha lol

 

Good news. We will get some new feature in 9 IE.

 

Microsoft gives some details about IE9 on their blog. It won't be better than Firefox because what they're bragging about isn't as good as Firefox is today and Firefox will, of course, be getting better between now and when IE9 comes out, in about two years.

 

Oh my.... it is coming. hope it will be much faster

 

Firefox 3.5 becomes the most popular browser, so IE 9 Facing a new challenge.

 

Microsoft's share of the global browser arena has now slipped to 66 percent, whereas only a few years ago, it was at more than 90 percent. Firefox is clearly the biggest beneficiary, with 22.5 percent. All the other browsers had single-digit shares.

 

As always it will have a lot of bugs

 

now no one can beat Firefox

 

Not only is this true in my opinion, but it would probably come out to be one of the top ten things people do with IE.

I agree that IE is only still alive and kicking because MS is packing it with every computer available to the general public. What better way to market a product than to shove it down everyone's throat?

Personally, I feel its nice to see a few markets where even billion dollar businesses can't maintain absolute power.
