Internet Explorer 9 has yet to reach the Beta development stage, but Microsoft is already touting the next generation of IE as superior to its rivals. The Redmond company has obviously thrown down the gauntlet, and managed to take swings at all rivals during the recent Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) 2010. First, Kevin Turner, Microsoft Chief Operating Officer, revealed that in the software giant’s view Windows 7 is superior to all platforms on the market including Mac OS X and Linux. But Turner also noted that the upcoming iteration of IE9 will be faster and safer than Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari.

At the same time, he noted that Internet Explorer 8 is already the safest browser on the web today. Of course, as was the case with Windows, Turner did not mention IE’s rivals specifically. Still, it’s nothing short of evident what Microsoft COO meant.

“IE9 is going to be not only the most safest and secure browser in the market, which IE8 is today, it will be the fastest browser in the market. You saw some demos of that on day one. It's a smoking hot browser product,” Turner said.

Microsoft offered the first Platform Preview of Internet Explorer 9 in March 2010, and since then served two additional testing releases, about 8 weeks apart. IE9 Platform Preview 3 is now available for download, still a build aimed at developers, an aspect which will only change as Microsoft will release the first Beta of the browser

“And more than ever, there's a better web on Windows. And whether it's applications you're building on IE8 or the applications that are being contemplated for IE9, just a tremendous opportunity. IE8 is the fastest-growing web browser in history, and it has now become the most popular web browser on the planet. So, a lot of opportunity to build a better web on Windows,” noted Tami Reller, Corporate Vice President and CFO, Windows & Windows Live.

i am not accept this..
Firefox always faster & safer one

I disagree with this, it seems IE constantly needs security patches, Chrome's sandbox seems to be more secure.

[torrentthief]

can't see IE9 being faster than chrome 6! Secure is definately right, google is run by the CIA as reported in the washington post yesterday.

Architecturally, Firefox has been the least secure of the browsers.

As to how amazing and wonderful IE9 will be, we'll see when it launches.

IE8 with protected mode on is one of the securest (if thats even a word) browsers out there. The only one thats equal (if even better) to it is Chrome with its sandbox mode.

Is it a safer browser (secure and safe have 2 different meanings)? That depends on the user and how well he uses it.

[Argote]

Well, I'll try it when it comes out.

IE9 is great! The way it renders font is far superior to any other browser. You just want to stare at it all day.

why need separate security for browsers. i am believe Kaspersky its works better for all round security..
and also IE always works better in case of high speed internet only..

I hate it. Anyway, it's nothing special. It uses DirectWrite, which is an API any other Windows application can use as well. The latest Firefox betas do.

Yup. How do you enable it in FF?

Seriously, reading some of the replies in this thread; it seems people hate Internet Explorer because it's Internet Explorer. Historically, it hasn't been fantastic, and it has been in more recent years eclipsed by Firefox and Chrome, but IE9 is the fastest and most secure browser there, choosing not to use it because it's IE is just, well, ridiculous. And seriously, stuff like 'hate', for an internet browser? That's some pretty strong emotions there. It's not like IE ran over your dog or something.

Keep an open mind guys.

Blah, blah, blah. As if he was going to say anything else? Posting this "article" should get you a warn for blatant flame-baiting.
