   Abstract:

Internet Explorer 9 (abbreviated as IE9) is the upcom

version of the Internet Explorer web browser fr

Microsoft. It is currently in development, but develo

previews have been released.

IE9 will have complete or nearly complete support for

CSS 3 selectors, border-radius CSS 3 property, fas

JavaScript  and embedded ICC v2 or v4 color prof

support via Windows Color System. IE9 will feat

hardware accelerated graphics rendering using Direct

hardware accelerated text rendering using Direct Wr

hardware accelerated video rendering using Me

Foundation, imaging support provided by Wind

Imaging Component, and high fidelity printing powe

by the XPS print pipeline. During the October 2009 Ty

conference, Microsoft was reported as saying that it wconsidering supporting WOFF in IE9. WOFF is "a str

favorite" for standardization by the World Wide W

Consortium (W3C) Web Fonts Working Group.

At  MIX 10, a new preview was released that featu

support for CSS3 and SVG, a new JavaScript engine ca

Chakra, and a score of 55/100 on the Acid3 test, up fr

20/100 for IE8. This preview is expected to be upda

approximately every eight weeks, functions in para

with any other installed browsers, and is a preview of

renderer technology only, lacking traditional chro

elements such as an address bar and navigation button

The final build of IE9 is expected to be released in 20

Support for the HTML5 video and audio tags was a

promised. Some industry experts claim that Microsoft

release IE9 as a major out-of-band version that is not t

to any particular version of Windows.

The system requirements are Windows Vista SP2 (w

Platform Update and Internet Explorer 8) or Window

Windows XP is not supported.

nternet Explorer History 

n the early 90s—the dawn of history as far as the World Wide Web is

oncerned—relatively few users were communicating across this

lobal network. They used an assortment of shareware and other

oftware for Microsoft Windows operating system. In 1995, Microsoft 

osted an Internet Strategy Day and announced its commitment to

dding Internet capabilities to all its products. In fulfillment of that nnouncement, Microsoft Internet Explorer arrived as both a graphical

Web browser and the name for a set of technologies.

995: Internet Explorer 1.0: In July 1995, Microsoft released the

Windows 95 operating system, which included built-in support for

ial-up networking and TCP/IP (Transmission Control

rotocol/Internet Protocol), key technologies for connecting to the

nternet. In response to the growing public interest in the Internet,

Microsoft created an add-on to the operating system called Internet 

xplorer 1.0.

995: Internet Explorer 2.0: In November 1995, Microsoft released its

rst cross-platform browser, Internet Explorer 2.0, which supported

oth Macintosh and 32-bit Windows users.

996: Internet Explorer 3.0: In August 1996, Microsoft released itsompletely rebuilt Internet Explorer technology, which included

eatures that were revolutionary for the time. Designed for Windows

5, Internet Explorer 3.0 technology offered useful components that 

mmediately appealed to users, including Internet Mail and News 1.0

nd Windows Address Book. Later, Microsoft NetMeeting® and

Windows Media Player were added.

997: Internet Explorer 4.0: Designed for Windows 95, Windows 98,

nd Windows NT®, Internet Explorer 4.0 technology was a significant 

move forward. For Web developers, the addition of Dynamic HTML

DHTML) heralded the next step in Web design. DHTML gave Web

evelopers more control over content and style and created

pportunities that previously had been possible only with softwarepplications. 

998: Internet Explorer 5.0: With the September 1998 release of 

nternet Explorer 5.0 technology, developers gained the ability to

esign richer Web applications. DHTML capabilities were expanded,

iving Web developers more flexibility and power to create interactive

Web sites. 

001: Internet Explorer 6: Internet Explorer 6 technology was

eleased with Windows XP in 2001 as a more private, reliable, and

exible technology than previous versions. Because privacy and

ecurity had become customer priorities, Microsoft implemented tools

hat support Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P), a technology

nder development by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

006: Internet Explorer 7 was released on October 18, 2006. It 

ncludes bug fixes, enhancements to its support for web standards,

abbed browsing with tab preview and management, a multiple-engine

earch box, a web feeds reader, Internationalized Domain Name

upport (IDN), Extended Validation Certificate support, and anti-

hishing filter.

009: Internet Explorer 8 was released on March 19, 2009. It is

upported in Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2,

Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 on both 32-bit 

s well as 64-bit architectures. It includes support for  Accelerators  -

which allow supported web applications to be invoked without 

xplicitly navigating to them - and Web Slices - which allows portions of 

age to be subscribed to and monitored from a redesigned Favorites

ar . Other features include In Private  privacy features, and Smart 

creen phishing filter.

Internet Explorer 9: A Fresh Start, With

HTML5 

Ninth time's the charm, sometimes! At least 

that's Microsoft's hope with IE9, which

they've just announced at  Mix, brings new

HTML5 support (including HTML5 video!),

hardware-accelerated 2D graphics, and a

totally new JavaScript engine—and no XP

support. Microsoft's just demoed the latest 

build of IE9, the final version of which doesn't 

yet have a release date, and for something as

sleepy as a browser, it's  pretty  cool. Here's

what's new:

HTML5

HTML5 is basically the talk of the town right now, assuming your town is populated exclusively by

web developers and Appleapologists. It's magic! It's going to

save the internet! It's going to kill

Flash! Etc. But really, it's more subtle

than that: It's the next version of the

entire language that underlies the

web—HTML—and it supports a lot 

of interesting features, which will

make websites behave more like

apps. Firefox, Safari, Chrome and

Opera have pretty much left 

Microsoft in the dust in terms for

HTML5 support. Until now! Here arethe HTML5 features Microsoft says

IE9 will support:

• h.264 video: When people talk about HTML5 killing Flash, this is what they're talking about.

Some video sites, like YouTube and Vimeo, have been experimenting with video playback that 

doesn't require a plugin to play. h.264 is the format standard the big sites have chosen to go with,

and now Internet Explorer will support it.

• Embedded Audio: Just as the video tag allows for video to be embedded directly into a page

without a plugin, the audio tag allows audio files to be embedded straight into the page. IE9

supports MP3/AAC codecs.

• Scalable Vector Graphics: Scalable vector graphics allow for the creation of certain types of 

graphics that scale perfectly—because they're drawn as vectors, not plain images. It can also allow

for rudimentary, Flash-style animations.

• CSS3: CSS is essentially what the web is  formatted  with, and Internet Explorer's various CSS

compatibilities have been maddening since, well, forever. IE9 supports more standards-based

CSS3—including Selectors, Namespaces, Color, Values, Backgrounds and Borders and fonts —and

should support more before launch. They're finally trying, is the point.

The New JavaScript Engine

Modern web apps are loaded with JavaScript, to the point that new browsers are practically

measured by how fast they can render it. (A faster JavaScript engine means sites like Gmail,

Facebook and even Gizmodo don't just load faster, but run more quickly.) Here's how Microsoft 

says IE9 measures up right now:

Keep in mind that this is a

WebKit-designed test, and that 

IE9 isn't ready for release

yet —Microsoft says they'll

still improve the rendering

speed. And really, while IE9

might not outpace the fastest 

browsers out there, it's at least 

close and hilariously faster

than IE8. In the onstage demo,

IE9 didn't do terribly well on

the Acid3 test, either, scoring a

mediocre 55/100, which they

vowed to improve. But again, they're at least trying, and when you've got the market share (and

history of ignoring standards) that Microsoft does, this is, again, worth a lot.

2D Acceleration

Internet Explorer nine adds DirectX

video acceleration for SVG graphics

and even text rendering, which will

make some SVG graphics and CSS3

rendering faster, but also applies to

text rendering, which makes the

entire browsing process a bit smoother. HTML5 video rendering is

much, much smoother than in

Chrome (demonstrated onstage),

simply because of Direct2D video

rendering—Microsoft was able to

demonstrate two 720p HD videos

playing smoothly in the same browser window, while Chrome choked on just one. Getting this

acceleration doesn't require any extra code on the website's part, though developers won't be able

to depend on this kind of video acceleration in their webpages, since it's unique to IE9 and

Windows, for now. More than allowing for absurd demos like this, what this means is that any video

played back via the video tag in IE9 will simply use less CPU power than it would in another

browser, which is an objective improvement. (Note: This won't be available on Windows XP.)Additionally, some Javascript rendering can also be offloaded to the GPU, which, again, helps speed

along rendering and responsiveness for complicated web apps. A lot of what Microsoft is doing here

could be accurately described as catchup. And aside from the 2D acceleration features, there's really

not much new here, as far as your average browser is concerned. But Internet Explorer adoption is

inevitable, and for Microsoft to embrace modern web standards—at least more than they have in

the past —will have a measurable, positive effect on the internet, and the people who browse it.

(From work, which I'm fairly sure is the only place where the computer-literate people use IE

anyway.)

Development 

Development of IE9 began shortly after IE8 had been released. Microsoft began taking features

suggestions through Microsoft Connect soon after IE8 was released.[11]  So far, the IE Team isfocused on improving support for HTML5 and adding support for XHTML and SVG. 

Microsoft first announced IE9 at  PDC 2009 and spoke mainly about how it takes advantage of 

hardware acceleration in DirectX to improve the performance of web applications and improve the

quality of web typography. 

Later, Microsoft announced that they had joined the W3C's SVG Working Group, which sparked

speculation that IE9 will support the SVG W3C recommendation.[12] This was proven to be true at 

MIX 10, where they demonstrated support for basic SVG markup and improved support for HTML5.

They also announced that they will increase the support greatly by the time the first IE9 beta is

released. The IE team has also introduced the new JavaScript engine for IE9, codenamed Chakra,

which compiles code to native code.

At MIX 10, the first IE9 Platform Preview was released, which featured support for CSS3 and SVG, a

new JavaScript engine called Chakra, and a score of 55/100 on the Acid3 test, up from 20/100 forIE8. On May 5, 2010, the second IE9 Platform Preview was released, which featured a score of 

68/100 on the Acid3 test and faster performance on the Web Kit Sun Spider JavaScript benchmark 

than the first IE9 Platform Preview. These previews are not full builds of IE9, as they are for testing

the latest version of the Trident layout engine. They are for web developers to send feedback on the

improvements made, function in parallel with any other installed browsers, and are previews of the

renderer technology only, containing minimalistic user interfaces and lacking traditional chrome

elements such as an address bar and navigation buttons.[16] Microsoft says that these previews will

be updated approximately every eight weeks.

 Security mechanisms of IE 9

The software giant Microsoft has released a

new generation of browser products IE 9.Although IE 9 is still a technology preview

version (specified test for developers), the

performance test proves that the results of 

IE 9 is just after Chrome and Firefox.

Except for the outstanding performance, the

security mechanism of  IE 9 is also very

important. The following are the seven

security mechanisms of IE 9:

1. Sandbox technology

Microsoft learned from Google Chrome's Sandboxing technology and added new protected mode in

IE. Under Protection mode, the browser's ability to deal with potential attacks has escalated, and IE

9 also solves the problems of collapsing of the old version.

2. Plug-in intelligent management 

Usually, hackers use some defect code of plug-in in the process, and successfully bypass the security

mechanisms DEP and ASLR to have further attacks. But in IE 9, all plug-ins are out of the process

management and reduce the possibility of plug-in attacks.

3. Randomized memory management  

Rick • Moi, world-renowned security research firm NSS president says that the randomized

memory management technology in IE 9, forcing hackers to carry out a very complex process todetermine the specific target.

4. Redirection limit  

Users will be hijacked to the other sites which contain malicious code when accessing illegal sites.

Now, the redirection limit function of IE 9 can play its role.

5. Content security policy

According to the requirements of content security strategy, Microsoft is obliged to provide

protection for cross-site scripting and Click-Jacking attack. Mozilla has started the deployment of 

this mechanism.

6. Plug-in registration mechanism

IE 9 hope that under a certain mechanism to help users to distinguish good or bad plug-in, so that 

users can use plug-ins better and more securely.

7. Secure API 

By providing secure API, reducing the direct use of memory, and will greatly reduce the possibility

of attacks. (Norton Internet Security 2010 and PC Tools Internet Security recommended)

Comparison

With the advent of  Internet 

Explorer 8 many users are happywith its advanced features which

are competent with other browsers

like the famous Firefox or the

Google Chrome. Microsoft hasn’t 

stopped just with the small success

of IE 8 and they are very much keen

on Internet Explorer 9. In the next 

MIX10 (Las Vegas) event Microsoft 

is planning to demo its upcoming

Internet Explorer 9. Though MShad announced about IE 9 road map

at PDC 09, there wasn’t much discussion after that. The new rendering engine for dynamic text and

with entirely new code for Internet Explorer 9, it will definitely make a difference for the users. 

At  PDC 2009 Hachamovitch, General Manager of Internet Explorer Team, and Steven Sinofsky,

Windows Division President, both set a kind of roadmap for Internet Explorer 9 and Dean

Hachamovitch confirmed that he will be presenting the changes and improvements made to

Internet Explorer 9 sine PDC 2009 at  MIX10. New support for Direct2D rendering and the

improved support and functionality with Silverlight are the main areas most of the developers are

interested to know about IE 9.

Technology 

The main technologies to call out here broadly are HTML5, CSS3, DOM, and SVG," Microsoft writes,

"The IE9 test drive site has more specifics and samples. At this time, we're looking for developer

feedback on our implementation of HTML5's parsing rules, Selection APIs, XHTML support, and

inline SVG. Within CSS3, we're looking for developer feedback on IE9's support for Selectors,

Namespaces, Colors, Values, Backgrounds and Borders, and Fonts. Within DOM, we're looking for

developer feedback on IE9's support for Core, Events, Style, and Range.

Conclusion

The latest version of the popular browser is Explorer 9. At the beginning it will simply be a trial

version, named "Internet Explorer Platform Preview", which is free to download from a "test drive"

page on the Microsoft website. The company will release further "platform previews" every eight 

weeks before entering the Beta testing phase of the program, which will anticipate the final release

of the product. Even the Beta versions will likely be public. Anyway, in spite of all the bugs that 

characterize the current version, which is nothing more than an Alpha release, Microsoft seems to

have a precise strategy in mind: unveiling Explorer 9 and demonstrating that the "browser" battle

is not lost and that Redmond means to fight it with all its weapons, from the adoption of new web

languages standards, to kinds of radical innovation.

Internet Explorer 9 addresses all of the major concerns that users and critics have had with the

world's most used browser. There are several new and interesting features. Web Slices lets you

save predefined sections of a Web page for at-a-glance viewing. Instead of going to a traffic Web site

for updates, the latest commuting news comes to you. Accelerators make repetitive tasks one-click 

behaviors, for instance finding directions or blogging.

So, while IE9 is expected to be compatible with the existing Web, it will do things no Internet 

Explorer and, potentially, any browser, has done before it.
