The next version of Microsoft’s internet browser, Internet Explorer 9, was released to the public as a beta this week.
Supposed to be faster, more secure, less resource intensive, and much more user friendly, it does not support XP, and that could be a double edged sword.
On the one hand, Windows 7 has been well accepted in the market place, and this latest version of IE should work well within that environment.
But, will the absence of support for XP help to migrate users towards the newer platform, or will it force them to remain with the older platform? Only time will tell.
