What is Internet Explorer

Are you a fan of Microsoft's hugely successful Internet Explorer? Then you're in for a real treat with Internet Explorer 8. It's the newest edition to the MS IE web browser. With this, you can expect all of the great aspects from past incarnations, as well as many great new editions and features.

Internet Explorer has been the most popular browser option for many years now, but Microsoft doesn't rest on its laurels. Constantly updating and responding to user suggestions and complaints, they have strived to create the perfect browser. Something that is pleasing to look at, easy to use, and completely integrative.

That's where Internet Explorer 9 comes into play. They updated the looks and functionality.

The most obvious change you'll notice when you open up Internet Explorer 9 for the first time is the completely overhauled interface. Taking full advantage of the newer operating systems by Microsoft, they've given IE 9 a crisp, sharp, and sleek look. They have really spared no effort to bring us a browser that is both beautiful and functional.

This browser is incredibly easy to use. Great for anyone who's looking for a basic but versatile 'standard' browser. Compatible with tons of add-ons and apps. Though perfect for someone who's familiar with computers and surfing the web, this is a great browser to start children out on, since it is so intuitive and easy to use.

Like other innovative browsers, the search box and address bar have merged for a more seamless experience. Not only does it make surfing the web easier, it makes the browser beautiful.
