I'm inna freed i'm here with cnet with dean hakama vich who is the newly minted vice president for internet explorer we're here at the launch of IE 9 so what's the news today with ie9 well you know IE 9 beta is available for download right now and it includes support from over 70 partners worldwide we've got sites live on the internet that really show off what you can do in your browser puts the site at the center of attention so we've seen kind of the behind the scenes the new faster engine the hardware acceleration some of those features but what most people haven't seen is the full look and feel of IE 9 which is one of the things you'll get to see in the beta what are some of the features of the user interface let me show you one in particular here I've got a Windows 7 desktop if you look here along the bottom you see that I've pinned a lot of websites that I use a lot so there's the rotten tomatoes movie review site in fact here's twitter com not a twitter app but actually twitter com in fact why don't I go to your site so here's beyond binary and I can take the tab and I can drag the tab down to the taskbar and put it right here next to Twitter it belongs when I let go it's got its own icon and now I can launch directly the same way I launch any windows application if you look up over here you'll see that there is regular ie the back button address bar and now here is your site pen you notice at the back and forward buttons pick up the readout of the cnet icon and the scene an icon is very prominent cuz the experience really is about your site maybe one of the things that's worth showing is back down over here on the taskbar if you look at Twitter see that sites can also program jump lists and here the Twitter jump list looks a lot like the Twitter site and I'm sure that your site will have a jump list that looks a lot like the rest of your site within exciting things that you want to offer your readers so for those who haven't seen the new look of ie one of the things you notice is the chrome if you will leave the part of the browser that's not the website takes up less space was that an deliberate design goal well the the design goal was to have the browser focus the users attention on the site and one of the side effects of that is fewer pixels used by the browser I think when you when you look at the different browsers some of them say look at me on the browser and some of them say look at the site side to the star of the web so the ie9 bit is available as of today what does it require what kind of computer windows 7 windows vista machines can run it just fine there are 32 and 64-bit flavors and because it is the world wide web the beta is available in 33 languages great thanks team thank you
