Upgrade your IE to a much better version, if you're OK with being in beta.
As promised, Microsoft has released the first public beta of Internet Explorer 9.
Along with the first beta is the reveal of the new UI, which Microsoft boasts very proudly is focused on the content of the website and not the browser software itself. That doesn't mean that the browser is light on features, however, as IE9 integrates very well with Windows 7.
Now users can pin websites directly onto the taskbar, which can have their own unique jump lists. Websites can also program in badge notifications to the icons when they reside on the taskbar, which sounds like it'd be great for web-based mail.
Check out more about IE9 at Microsoft's specially launched site beautyoftheweb.com and grab the download links here.
