Microsoft presented it's next generation of the Internet Explorer web browser at the web developer's conference in Las Vegas. At the conference, Microsoft put some code from the new browser on display and gave a "platform preview" of IE9.
Internet Explorer 9 will have a new graphics rending engine that will draw upon the hardware (graphic chip) to boost the rendering of text and graphics from the web.
Internet Explorer 9 is not yet a full featured web browser. However, Microsoft announced that it will be making code updates approximately every eight weeks in an attempt to move the software into BETA mode.
