• My take on Internet Explorer 9

  My review of IE 9 just hit Windows Secrets Newsletter.

  In spite of what you  may have seen or heard, it isn’t all derivative. MS came up with some new features, and they aren’t bad. Take a look.

• Internet Explorer 9: good enough to beat Firefox and Chrome?

  Posted on September 23, 2010 at 08:17 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  Internet Explorer has gone from about 90% market share to about 50%, in four years.

  Microsoft released a “public” beta of the new version of Internet Explorer last week. Firefox 4 and Chrome 7 – both new versions – are in publicly available beta.

  There are pro’s and con’s of all three. But the over-arching question is whether IE9 is good enough to regain some of its market share.

  My latest Infoworld Tech Watch article takes a look at IE’s mojo.
