First public beta of its new Internet Explorer browser, IE9 has been launched by Microsoft. According to the company new program’s speed and security will definitely change the perception of users about the web and support the creation of “beautiful” internet.

According to Microsoft, key to IE9 is using computer hardware to improve performance and it even demonstrated this by comparing its product with Google Chrome. IE9 was five times faster by running the same graphics. New version of Amazon called Book Shelf was also demonstrated by the company. This new version presents pictures of books, front covers and provides more information when the users click.

The new browser allows web sites to look like applications and not just like web sites. IE9 uses single box for web addresses by adopting a much cleaner interface. IE9 allows sites to be pinned to the taskbar by integrating fully into Windows. When users move the mouse over pinned site, users can get direct integration with social networking or controls like music playing. With the launch of IE9, Microsoft is expecting to integrate the web fully into Windows so that the users don’t feel going online different from using other programs.
