According to an electronista article IE9 may be released to developers at microsoft’s MIX conference. It is believed that HTML5 technology is to be heavily used. Microsoft have organised a briefing at MIX2010 entitled “HTML5 – The Future of Mark Up Today.”
Presently IE8 get HTML5 capabilities such plug-in free video which is really only possible thanks to third party features. These changes will bring the IE browser into line with is competitors Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Opera who already use HTML5 technologies inbuilt.
Microsoft have always been criticised for being slow to adopt this technology and with IE having a presence on all Windows machines developers have had to write with IE’s restrictions in mind and not being able to be as full featured as they want.
