Microsoft’s next generation web browser Internet Explorer 9, will make its debut at CES 2010, according to reports from Neowin [1] and CNET [2]. The browser which will be the successor to IE8 [3] will include several exciting features including HTML5 support, according to Ray Ozzie, the Chief Software Architect at Microsoft.
IE8 improvised and added several new features including multiple processes [4] and developer tools [5]. Even with that they are still lagging behind Mozilla’s Firefox [6]. Firefox 3.6 is scheduled for release this December [7], however, it still lacks several features already existing in IE8 and Google Chrome [8].
It will be interesting to see where the browser war is headed. Considering that more and more people are now living in the cloud and performing much of their work in a web browser, having the biggest browser market share is of utmost importance to everyone including Mozilla, Microsoft and Google.
