If you are tech savvy and love to enjoy the surfing experience on different browsers you can test drive ‘Platform Preview’ of IE 9 which will give you a taste of the browser’s capabilities. As Microsoft unveils the public preview version of the new browser lots of queries are coming up almost everyday. How is the new browser different from IE8 and how far it can compete with the other worthy competitors like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and others are some questions to be answered. No double Microsoft tech support team will be busy satisfying the queries.

So what is new in IE9? Microsoft is on the go to make IE9 a speedy and much improved support provider for improved Web standards. It will be designed to support HTML5 which is the latest markup language of Web’s core. The improved technology of CSS 3 and a much improved JavaScript engine will be supported by IE9. And the most important thing is that Microsoft has promised to make it a more nimble browser that will beat the slow and sluggish performance of the previous Internet Explorer versions.

A common question will be how the new browser interface looks like. Since the Platform Preview is not the complete browser, it is difficult to answer the question correctly yet, suggest the tech support experts. However, the interface will have a clean look and feel rather than the complex befuddled look as far as the developers hope the browser to be.

So, if you are thinking what this Platform Preview is all about and why does Microsoft release such a preview version then the answer will be that this is basically a test version of the main web browser. Basically it is a way to test how the websites run on this new browser and how the HTML5 capabilities can be exploited on the new browser. This is actually meant for the web developers, suggest the tech support experts at Microsoft. Moreover, Microsoft plans to release a newer version with the newer application every 8 weeks or so.

If you are thinking whether you can use the new browser in place of your current browser, experts will disappoint you here. Since it is still a test version lots of features may no be included in the shipping version of the IE9. In this Platform Preview version there is no back button. So, browsing this in place of your regular browser will no be possible for the moment being.

Now if you are thinking about whether you can run the test version of Platform Preview on your PC then the answer from the Microsoft tech support is that you can run the test version if you are running Windows 7 or Vista on your computer. However, you will need to download and install IE8 and the Platform Update for Windows Vista on your system to run this preview version.

Reading up to this may have tempted you to know when the final version of IE9 will be released. Microsoft has not announced anything about this and may be it will take months to get the shipping version of IE9.
