Internet Explorer 9 Beta released

Looks as if Microsoft is pushing hard to get themselves back in the driving seat as the top dog Web browser. Internet Explorer 9 Beta has just been released to the public, and from my first impressions, this browser is FAST, and for the first time, has full colour management which reads the icc profiles in images and honours the colours as set by the artist/photographer. GOOD News for us Photogs and our clients out there! It is both icc version 2 and icc version 4 enabled, unlike Firefox, which is icc version 2 only. I have checked a couple of my own images on the web against the originals, and the colour rendering is pretty much spot on. The GUI is a fairly radical departure from Internet Explorer as we know it. The emphasis is on web page real estate, so the toolbars, favourites, etc. are not in plain view anymore. They are still there, but are kept out of the way to give you more web page size. Tabs have now been moved to the top of the screen, under the Menu bar, and the Address bar now serves a dual purpose: type in web addresses, or type in what you are searching for. As this Beta release evolves, I will bring along more snippets of news, features and capabilities. Download it today, and give it a spin. You just might be pleasantly surprised. http://tiny.cc/84rey
