Microsoft has yet to reveal IE9′s interface – not set to debut until next month. But ZDNet‘s Mary-Jo Foley says she caught a glimpse of IE9′s new minimalist look via a slip-up on Microsoft’s Russian press site.
The most interesting parts of Microsoft’s Mix conference have come to a close, leaving us with two steaming news lumps: One for Windows Phone 7, and one for Internet Explorer 9. Here’s what’s in them!
If this morning’s news of Internet Explorer 9′s support for HTML5 and video acceleration got you excited, and you happen to run Windows XP, prepare to get unexcited: You won’t be able to install it on your OS. Sorry! [IE9]
Ninth time’s the charm, sometimes! At least that’s Microsoft’s hope with IE9, which they’ve just announced at Mix, brings new HTML5 support (including HTML5 video!), hardware-accelerated graphics for text and images, and a totally new Javascript engine.
