Internet Explorer 9 arrives, but not for XP - Microsoft Previews IE10 too

The final, consumer-ready Internet Explorer 9 is available for download at Microsoft’s official download site in 39 languages. With this set of browser releases, the best experience of the Web is on Windows.

The main issue with IE 9 is it runs on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2.

XP is officially out of the mainstream support phase and is not eligible for updates like this. Plus, many of the features are specifically tied to Windows features found only in later versions.

"Building a new browser for a 10-year-old OS that came with IE6 didn't make sense to us because of the limitations of its graphics and architectures. Building for the future of the web does make sense.” said by Dean Hachamovitch.

You can get it from Microsoft’s official download site. Choose your language, specify which Windows version you’re running (32-bit or 64-bit), and click Download.
