Hey guys,

The new Platform Preview for IE9 was made available this morning.  You can check it out here.

The new preview has some added features, including:

By using more of the underlying operating system, and taking advantage of the power of the whole PC, IE9 enables developers to do more with HTML5. Running through Windows, instead of just on Windows. This is consistent with our approach of architecting HTML5 support in, from the ground up, rather than just grafting in some HTML5 features.

The third Platform Preview of IE9, continues the deep work around hardware acceleration to enable the same standards-based mark-up to run faster. This is the latest instalment of the rhythm we started in March, delivering platform preview releases approximately every eight weeks and listening to developers.

The platform preview installs side by side with Internet Explorer 8 so you can try it without replacing the full version of Internet Explorer that comes with Windows.

Thanks and stay awesome,

Kyle Price
