Requirements and compatibilities of Internet Explorer 9

[Kaufman]

I have found from the web that Internet Explorer 9 has been released. I need some information on the requirements and compatibilities of Internet Explorer 9. Well, I am using Windows 7 Ultimate operating system with 2 GB RAM and Core2Duo processor. I cannot find the download of this version too. So, I need the same and it will be helpful if you provide its features too. Will it have any problems while running in Windows 7? All possible replies and comments are appreciated.

Actually, Internet Explorer 9 has not been released yet. It is the Platform preview version of IE 9. It has been mentioned by the officials that Internet Explorer 9 supports Windows 7 too. So, the users of Windows 7 can download the same without any issues. The Vista users have to make it sure that they have Internet Explorer 8 installed in the system before they try to download IE 9.

The compatible platforms for IE 9 are as given below:

• Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2
• Windows XP Service Pack 2
• Windows XP Service Pack 3
• Windows Vista Service Pack 1
• Windows Vista Service Pack 2
• Windows Server 2008
• Windows Server 2008 R2
• Windows 7

It seems that this browser will provide better features without any problems for the users of Internet Explorer.

Some new features of Internet Explorer 9 are that it you can open from the page menu as well as by typing CTRL+O. The address of the page that has been opened will be always shown in The Open Web Page dialog box. I guess that all the other features are the same as in IE 8. You can get the same Platform preview version of this browser below:

Inorder to use Internet Explorer 9, there are no other system requirements, than the operating systems that are mentioned above. The Internet Explorer 98 had many flaws and many users were complaining about the same. I guess that this platform version has been released by bringing about some changes in IE 8. Accordingly, the users will provide the problems faced in this version and thus, the full version of IE 9 will be released soon.

Yes, not yet out but I don't think so there will be any problem if you use IE9 I am using windows 7 and having IE8 it works perfectly and it will be same if we will use IE9. The difference between IE8 and IE9 that IE9 will have some additional feature then IE8.
