Why there is no Internet Explorer 9 in Windows XP?

[Miguel Reyes]

Hey Guys, What I have heard is it true? Is there no Internet Explorer (IE9) in Windows XP? I really cannot imagine windows XP without the latest version of Internet Explorer. If this news will be true than I think Microsoft has done the biggest blunder. If you have any such information related to internet explorer 9, which is not available on windows XP then please let me know? I am not sure about this news, so please let me know whether this news is correct or wrong?

I think you have heard pretty right. This time there is no internet explorer for windows xp users. This is the biggest mistake I think Microsoft has done. Bu announcing this news it has made a very impact on the users. It’s quite disappointing that windows xp users cannot use internet explorer 9 but we can still use the modern browser such as Firefox, Google chrome, opera mini which normally windows xp support. Internet explorer (IE9) will run on Vista, windows 7, Windows server 2008 but won’t run on windows XP.

Yes, my friend you have heard right. This very much disappointing for the windows xp users for notable too run Internet explorer 9. Microsoft has confirmed it that internet explorer 9 hardware acceleration will not feature in the older version. I also, agree to this point that Microsoft has no doubtably made a big mistake. I think Microsoft will not be able Internet explorer hit without windows xp.

It’s completely disheartening but still you can use internet explorer 9 on windows vista, windows 7 and windows server 2008. You can use it on windows 7 which is acquiring many internet explorer 9 users. You can also have that benefit just replace your operating system to Windows 7. I don’t think you might have that difficulty when you are using windows 7? You can use all the features of internet explorer on Windows vista, windows 7 and windows server 2008.

You won’t understand what windows xp is for us. I have been using it for a quite long time but I never faced any problems in windows xp. There is no comparison between windows xp and windows 7 or vista. Though Internet explorer 9 is not compatible for windows xp user, but still we will be on windows xp side rather than switching to windows 7 or vista. I was completely blown away when I heard the news but still we have facilities of using modern browser such as Firefox, Google chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer8.
