Although still in beta, Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) until earlier this year has been downloaded 20 million times. Although it was not clear whether it is the number of unique downloads or multiple downloads, but the amount is fairly exciting downloads for Microsoft.
As quoted from the Windows Team Blog, on Tuesday (4/1/2010), as the new year celebration, Roger Capriotti, Director of Internet Explorer Product Marketing IE9 mention that the number of downloads has overflowed.
"We launched IE9 Beta on 15 September 2010 and currently has overflowed," he explained. According to data from Net Applications, the number of users IE9 beta has now reached 34.7 percent of the total users of the IE browser.
Meanwhile, Microsoft's campaign which invites the previous version of IE users to switch to IE9 also contributed to fruition. Capriotti confirmed today the number of IE6 users live 13.81 percent, from first launched in 2001.
Basically IE9 bring some new changes such as support for the HTML5, Direct2D, DirectWrite graphics hardware acceleration, and enhanced features in CSS3 and standardization SVG2. As a result it would make IE 9 'run' faster and lighter, not least with its competitors.
