Google to benefit from IE9 - Microsoft
Microsoft's senior product manager for Internet Explorer, Pete LePage, says rival Google could be one of the companies that will benefit most from future improvements in Internet Explorer.
Mr LePage, on his first visit to New Zealand, says there are plenty of improvements yet to be made to the company's web browser – now on version 8 – and there is no danger of it running out of puff in the same way that word-processing programs ground to an innovation halt.
The next version of Internet Explorer, IE9, will for the first time use computers' graphics processors – usually used by computer games – to better render website graphics on screen. "That is, hardware graphics acceleration is going to give you better reading experiences – better fonts and an improved ability to see images and scroll through them."
