Atlanta, GA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 13, 2011
Microsoft has announced the availability of the Release Candidate of Internet Explorer 9.
The release candidate, known as IE9 RC, is available at http://www.BeautyOfTheWeb.com in 40 languages, said Dean Hachamovitch, corporate vice president for Internet Explorer at Microsoft, in a Feb. 10 blog post. Hachamovitch said with IE9 RC, Microsoft has incorporated more than 17,000 pieces of feedback about IE9 and has moved the browser forward in terms of performance and standards, user experience, and safety and privacy.
Microsoft culled insights from more than 25 million beta testers to update the IE9 technology, including making the browser’s “Chakra” JavaScript engine at least 30 percent faster than it was in the beta version.
Hachamovitch said, “The IE9 RC is faster with real world sites. In addition to making the script engine faster, we’ve improved and tuned the rest of the browser as well. You’ll find that Gmail, Office Web Applications, and many other sites are faster as a result of scenario tuning, network cache tuning, and new compiler optimizations. You’ll also find that the RC of IE9 often uses megabytes less memory than the beta because of changes like delayed image decoding. We’ve also improved the performance of things many people do every day, like find on page, and made improvements which extend battery life.”
“The graphics engine is smoking fast. That means we can do really cool things,” said Grant Skinner, chief architect and CEO at gskinner.com.
Moreover, Hachamovitch added:
“IE9 RC supports additional emerging Web standards including CSS3 2D Transforms, HTML5 Geolocation and a set of HTML5 semantic elements. We’ve added support for the HTML5 canvas global
