INTERNET EXPLORER 9 PUBLIC BETA RELEASED

Microsoft has launched a salvo against it's competitors today by releasing the public beta of Internet Explorer 9.

IE9 has been updated with a new user interface and design.  Taking cues from Windows 7, IE9 now allows for pinning of sites.  The have vastly improved the tab functionality and included One Box, where the address bar is also the search bar.  IE9 has finally added a download manager that works.

In addition to those changes, Microsoft has been hard at work, working on the performance of the browser.  While the beta is faster than the current IE 8, it is still slower than Chrome and about on par with Firefox 3.6. [Review at Engadget] [Download IE9 Public Beta]
