A few days ago, the developers at Microsoft Build conference took an opportunity to show the first draft of Internet Explorer 11, the next version of the web browser from Microsoft into Windows 8.1.

But this major update will not be reserved for users of the new OS from Redmond. The publisher has just confirmed that IE 11 will also be compatible with Windows 7. The company, however, did not say when.

The main improvements in Internet Explorer 11 for the console interface for developers has the refreshed and very inspired Metro design.

It contains some new tools, such as "UI Responsiveness" that can be used to analyze the performance of a web page; DOM Explorer, a tool for emulation of different resolutions, an inbuilt Memory tool, and the ability to use the right to inspect an HTML element.

On the consumer side, the main novelty is the arrival of WebGL, which will be available on all devices by running the browser. As with Firefox 22, recently published, it is able to provide a better rendering of graphics, including 3D, allowing, for example, video games within the browser.

Finally, Microsoft plans to improve battery life by performing a number of operations, such as independent suspension of a tab, rendering HTML5 videos without plug-ins, or the delegation of uploading images to the GPU.

Internet Explorer 11's arrival on Windows 7 that is accompanied by support for WebGL and "MPEG dash", which translates into a multimedia performance with much more fluid content seems to be a pretty good idea. Also, another new feature in Internet Explorer 11, that is the management of resources, which will allow laptops to save some energy for their battery is good as well.
