L’abbiamo provato a lungo: è un grosso grosso miglioramento rispetto al predecessore: ottima interfaccia, veloce, stabile. Però non c’è per Windows XP e oramai il mondo mac sembra dimenticato.
Mercoledì pomeriggio è stato annunciato su windowsteamblog.com che, in occasione dell’edizione 2011 del “South by Southwest” (SXSW, un festival musicale, cinematografico, culturale e centro conferenze), verrà ufficialmente presentata la versione finale di Internet Explorer 9
Il software verrà reso disponibile per il libero download a partire dal 14 marzo 2011 alle 21:00, ora del pacifico (le 06:00 del 15 marzo, ora italiana).
Ieri Google ha presentato delle novità di Chrome. In giornata saremo alla presentazione di Internet Explorer 9. Domani l’anteprima di Firefox 4. E’ arrivata la primavera e rispunta la battaglia dei browser.
Firefox overtook Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) to become the number one browser in Europe in December 2010 according to StatCounter, the free website analytics company. The firm’s research arm StatCounter Global Stats reports that in December, Firefox took 38.11% of European market share, compared to IE’s 37.52%.
“This is the first time that IE has been dethroned from the number one spot in a major territory,” commented Aodhan Cullen, CEO, StatCounter. “This appears to be happening because Google’s Chrome is stealing share from Internet Explorer while Firefox is mainly maintaining its existing share.”
Our approach to building a faster web browsing platform, as seen in the Platform Previews, involves using everything the PC and its hardware have to offer. Before IE9, browsers used perhaps 10% of the PC’s capability. IE9 has shown the clear performance benefits with full hardware-acceleration of webpages.
Our approach in designing a site-centric web browsing experience also involves using everything available around the browser. We see all the pixels and code that people need for a significantly better browsing experience already there on the screen. The beta of Internet Explorer 9, available now at www.BeautyOfTheWeb.com in 33 languages, reflects this unique approach:
Our point of view is that the browser is the stage, or backdrop, for the web, and the sites are the star of the show. Similar to the relationship between Windows 7 and Windows applications, people go to the web for sites, not the browser. We asked, “How can IE make sites shine? How can IE put sites at the center of the experience?” Microsoft has more than a billion Windows customers in the world today, and we want browsing the web – one of the most common things they do on Windows PCs – to be a great experience.
Prende vita da Mozilla il progetto Opentochoice dedicato ai duecento milioni di navigatori su internet in Europa che dal primo marzo dovranno scegliere quale browser web utilizzare. Dopo anni di trattative, la Commissione europea ha infatti raggiunto un accordo con Microsoft che prevede l’impegno da parte dell’azienda di Redmond di non implementare piu’ Internet Explorer nel suo sistema operativo. Tra pochi giorni agli utenti di Windows apparirà una finestra nella quale verrà offerta la possibilita’ di selezionare liberamente quale software utilizzare per la navigazione sul web.
Un allarme sui pericoli dell’uso di internet Explorer è stato lanciato oggi in Germania. Secondo Spiegel online, l’edizione digitale dell’autorevole settimanale di Amburgo, il Bundesamt fuer Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, BSI, cioè l’Autorità federale per la sicurezza nella tecnologia dell’informazione, ha avvertito che l’uso del browser più diffuso nel mondo è sconsigliabile, ed è preferibile usare browser alternativi, finché il problema non verrà risolto.
C’è un punto debole in internet explorer, avverte la fonte ufficiale tedesca citata da Spiegel online. Sarebbe una falla?nella sua sicurezza che permette di lanciare attacchi e installare programmi ostili in un computer che funziona con Windows, attraverso un codice manipolato di un sito. Le versioni di internet explorer esposte a rischio sono la 6, la 7 e la 8 sui sistemi Windows XP, Vista e 7.
In honor of the release of Firefox 3.0, I’m offering up a video that documented its very beginning in 1998 — the first open-source release of Netscape’s browser and the foundation of the Mozilla project.
Independent filmmakers followed the Mozilla team from March 1998 to April 1999, as they worked to open Netscape Communicator’s source code to the world, in a last-ditch effort to save the company. The result is an amazing snapshot of computer history, capturing the people that worked on it, the first internal beta test, the moment Jamie Zawinski uploaded the first builds publicly, the launch party, the all-hands meeting announcing the AOL acquisition, and so much more. It aired on PBS nationally in March 2000, the same month as the beginning of the dot-com collapse.
The new browser wars on on. More than a decade after Microsoft killed off Netscape with Internet Explorer, competition in the browser market has never been stronger. Just last week, Mozilla released Firefox 3.5, which has now been downloaded nearly 14 million times. Earlier in June, Apple released Safari 4. In March, Microsoft introduced Internet Explorer 8, and Google came out with a speedier beta of its Chrome browser.
Some early data is coming in showing relative market share and how fast people are upgrading. If you look at the chart above from Statcounter, it indicates that since March Internet Explorer has lost 11.4 percent market share to other browsers. That is the combined market share of IE8, IE7, and IE6. Certainly IE8 (the light blue line) has been growing strong since its release last March, capturing 16.7 percent of the market as of July 4.
Today Microsoft Corp. announced the availability of Windows Internet Explorer 8, the new Web browser that offers the best solution for how people use the Web today. It can be downloaded in 25 languages at http://www.microsoft.com/ie8 starting at noon EDT on March 19. Internet Explorer 8 is easier to use, faster and offers leading-edge security features in direct response to people’s increasing concerns about online safety. A new study commissioned by Microsoft and the National Cyber Security Alliance and conducted by Harris Interactive Inc. shows that 91 percent of adults in the U.S. are concerned about online threats in the current economic climate, and 78 percent are more likely to choose a Web browser with built-in security than they were two years ago.
