IE9 is rumoured to include several <html5> and CSS3 elements, making it a real contender in the new range of “modern browsers”.

You can read more about the release on the IE Blog, or jump straight over to the resources and “test drive” the new release.

I will update this post with my thoughts on the preview, once I’ve had a play with it.

Unfortunately there is no alpha build available with this post for us to play with, just the usual spiel telling us about how good IE9 is will be might be, and how it compares to the “latest” (as of 18/11/09) builds of other more popular browsers.

Full of “how are javascript engine is better than your javascript engine” talk, there isn’t much about the features it will include, or a reason why they dont just release a version 8.* will all these updates rather than just going for version 9, but it does highlight their focus on improving CSS support (including rounded corners), its defiantly worth a quick read and also a bookmark for those of you not already subscribed to the RSS feed.

You can find the post on the IE Developer Blog
