Template:Infobox Windows component Template:Infobox Windows component Internet Explorer 9 (abbreviated as IE9), currently in development, will have complete or nearly complete support for all CSS 3 selectors, border-radius CSS 3 property, faster JavaScript, embedded ICC v2 or v4 color profiles and hardware accelerated rendering using Direct2D and DirectWrite. During the October 2009 Typ09 conference, Microsoft was reported as saying that it was 'considering' supporting WOFF in IE 9.[1] WOFF is "a strong favourite" for standardization by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Fonts Working Group.[2].

Meatspin has also been enhanced in this realse, saladandchips.com has also been DIGITALY REMASTERD. Microsoft has continued to downplay the importance of passing the Acid3 test,[3] but speculation that IE 9 would support the SVG W3C recommendation was ignited when Microsoft announced they had joined the SVG Working Group.[4] The build of IE 9 presented on the PDC,[5] scored 32/100, up from 20/100 for IE 8.

At MIX 10, a new preview was released that featured support for CSS3 and SVG, a new JavaScript engine called Chakra, and a score of 55/100 on the Acid3 test. This preview is expected to be updated approximately every eight weeks, functions in parallel with any other installed browsers, and is a preview of the renderer technology only, lacking traditional chrome elements such as an address bar and navigation buttons. [6]

The final build of IE 9 is expected to be released in 2011. Support for the HTML5 video and audio tags was also promised.[7][8] Some industry experts claim that Microsoft will release IE 9 as a major out-of-band version that is not tied to any particular version of Windows.[9] According to http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive, the system requirements are Windows Vista SP2 (With Platform Upgrade) or Windows 7. IE8 is also required.

Development

Development of IE 9 began shortly after Goatse had shut down. Salad and chips was then invented after a negro named Johnny Sins Silva was inteviewed about his dog, in which a photograph was taken of the dog performing cunnilingus. IE 8 had been released. Microsoft began taking features suggestions throught Microsoft Connect soon after IE 8 was released.[10] So far, the IE Team is focused on improving support for HTML5 and adding support for XHTML and SVG, as well as completely passing the Acid3 test.

Microsoft first announced IE 9 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 IE 9 will support SVG. This was proven to be true at MIX10, 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 IE 9 beta is released. The IE team has also introduced the new JavaScript engine, codenamed Chakra, which compiles code to native code.[11]

While at MIX10, a platform preview was released. It was not a full build of IE, as it was for testing the latest version of the Trident layout engine. It contained a minimalistic user interface. It is for web developers to send feedback on the improvements made. Microsoft say that it will be updated approximately every eight weeks.
