Internet Explorer 9 released
I'm checking Ars Technica today and it seems they have some review for the IE9 release and they have a good review for this newest browser from MS.
Quote:When Microsoft first introduced Internet Explorer 9 at PDC in November 2009, it didn't show much. A few benchmarks, some talk about the technologies that the browser would use, and a little information about the direction that development would take. But it was a significant event nonetheless. After years of playing catch-up—the stopgap Internet Explorer 7 added tab support, and then the solid Internet Explorer 8, which offered little in the way of support for new Web innovations—Microsoft was starting to position its browser not only as good, but able to take on the competition and be best in class.
And with the release today of Internet Explorer 9, the company has gone on to deliver just that—IE9 is the most modern browser there is.
Microsoft set out to do four things with IE9. The browser had to be fast, it had to be standards-compliant, it had to be trustworthy, and it had to put the focus on sites and Web content, rather than the browser. Ars has been following the browser's development since the first public preview in March 2010, with extensive coverage of the beta and release candidate, but those major points are still worth looking at.

RE: Internet Explorer 9 released
From what I've read, it's actually rather good.
Congratulations Microsoft - about time you caught up.

Chrome 10 recently released, Firefox 4 due some time soon.
Haven't read articles so don't particularly know what's special about IE9, but see how the competition responds.

The difference between browsers is becoming harder and harder to tell, that's for sure.
