Internet Explorer 9 public preview out this week. Can it gain some of the browser share it lost to Firefox and Google Chrome

The public preview of IE 9 is available for download, but it lacks most of the user interface features, but it gives users a look how the new rendering engine will incorporate new features.
Microsoft has been quiet on how the interface will look in the completed version of IE9 but it seems like they will have a more minimalist view in their web browser.  Microsoft is trying to build hardware acceleration in the browser like Safari and Firefox (though Firefox has it off by default).  Once hardware acceleration is implemented into IE 9 users with netbooks will size a difference with performance.  Users with a powerful machine with higher end graphics will see the most impact.

The challenge that Microsoft will need to overcome is how compatible IE 9 will be with websites.  When IE 8 came out it wasn’t compatible with many different website.

If you would like to try IE 9 you will need to be running either Windows Vista and 7, XP is not supported.  Lastly, you were able to run the beta of IE 8 side by side with IE 7, but you can’t run IE 9 side by side with IE 8.
