Internet Explorer 9 beta hands-on - a mixed bag for accessibility

no

Microsoft has released a public beta of the new Internet Explorer (IE) 9, and while it appears to live up to its reputation of being a very fast web browser, certain accessibility changes will receive praise from some and concern others.

First, the new version of the browser remains fast.  IE9 works differently to other web browsers in that it makes better use of the graphics card and Windows features to speed up image download times, and on most computers it succeeds. This test was done on a basic Asus Eee PC running Windows 7. There was a substantial performance increase, making IE9 more competitive against browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
