In the 1990 s, IE should be the most large groups of users, the most widely used browser, and the record keeping ten years unchanged until later appeared Netscape, it is the earliest fight with IE browser. IE9 is the development of major works Microsoft recently, now it seems the praise highly of Microsoft’s latest browsers do release available.
Below I came to IE9, for example, throughout the IE9 browser technology.
1. IE9 follow meet the future development trend of standard
If you ask web developers: “why not use meta CSS3 or web site?” Most of them can answer: “because many browser does not support.”
IE has more than 50% of the market (statistical time: in April 2010 source: wikipedia)
Despite the current CSS3 and meta still far less than the most ideal effect of the W3C, but IE developers but have not let us down, this upgrade is support the meta CSS3 and, even more than some media, developers expected (the thought that in 2022, IE will launch support.) So the IE9 release, for network developers is a good news.
Interactive browser test results (source IE9 test center)
For example, IE9 supports CSS3 media demand module, and its function is to show different user requirements for web developers of development the web page rendering technique, desktop client, laptop, mobile equipment.
IE9 showed CSS3 media demand rendering page (computer, laptop, respectively for mobile devices to display)
Key to emphasize that despite the current IE9 official version has been published, use IE older versions (don’t support and meta CSS3) the number of users is considerable. But we can confirm, CSS3 and support the meta IE9 will let IT managers and technical director raised with the power of the update system (IE9 only support Vista and Windows 7).
2. Expressive conspicuous
IE version with other browsers before performance compared to some dark. Responsible for developing the IE workers also realize this, so this time the IE9 d-will is also hope to be the person finds everything new feeling.
IE9 used the Sunspider (a popular JS script expressive benchmark tools), for its graces many. JS script adopt different standard function ascension browser speed. The emphasis of the software IE9 expressive, if speed improvement to continue to ascend, then advanced users and technical staff will pay more attention to the IE9.
3. For early users with convenient
In order to let the public to experience IE9, developers, established the IE9 platform test page.
The test page based on Microsoft’s website, IE users test for early IE9 preview version, and IE9 developers, on top of the meta CSS3 and share the test data.
Developers also provide can be installed IE9 platform, let users to experience and the preview IE9 interface and function.
Also, developers and receive the user feedback system, let users to more easily provide views, platoon wrong reports.
4. Encourage outside developers to contribute force
Any software, can collect feedback from developers get improvement. Such as Linux, Wordpress and Drupal, they are popular, mainly because tens of thousands of open source the author’s contribute ideas, to product development into popular applications.
IE9 adopting similar technique, provide developers tools for programmers, to make them wrong to retrieve or test.
Although Microsoft programs don’t open source, but at least they providing a close to the way to find the mistakes and debugging rendering.
In a way, this method is very effective for public relations. If you and developers get along pretty well, then you can blend in to his boss, customers, friends and social circle. What a huge crowd!!!!! So IE9 for developers have open than before a big step.
5. More responsible for more transparent
Microsoft has been to product development take the possession of attitude, so for the IE9 blog release on development news, everyone will think of surprise. Blog talk about progress and development of IE9 obstacles, and encourage tourists participate in them. All this can see, Microsoft is no longer to product development and severely further transparent.
For example, in the public speculation of the video coding meta elements, IE9 development team in the blog on official admits, continue to support the industry standard codes h. 264.
Why to say the special case? Because it shows Microsoft started to pay attention to the user, and not as it was that allow the user to guess and at its own conclusions. No matter whether you attention, at least we can get the product development of the response, isn’t it?
IE9 lets users know to Microsoft will also admitted mistakes, such as Google’s Gmail products in IE9 render error, and official recognition that a mistake, from the former Microsoft image is completely different.

As a network development and design staff, I know that in the work to accept criticism is very difficult, but it is also important to work improvement, to this kind of criticism topic, can choose to have constructive feedback to help improve their work.
So, this is not a Microsoft’s innovation?
Very likely. Over the years, I have been submitted to the Microsoft browser improvements, but make me angry, they have been ignored. However, I have to admit, IE development team in the development of a lot of work in the next IE9, although at present the IE9 Chrome, firefox and than up is not too perfect, but I am writing purpose is, I am engaged in so many years of network development and design, the first time readily see Microsoft is gradually change, new applications and released in a much different.
Although there are still some defects in IE9, but for future network experience will be better, looking forward to more and more meta CSS3 and the factors appear, that can help people save many test network development time, also can let users get better sensory experiences.
