Microsoft has revealed a new download manager in an early IE9 build.
Screen shots of the build were leaked to Chinese Website Cnbeta early in the week. The screen shots show a download manager that allows you to pause and cancel downloads, a new icon for IE9 and improved security controls for add-ons. These new features give an early clue as to what we can expect in the first public beta. No real UI changes are apparent apart from the new icon. The screen shots have been verified as genuine and from a build distributed to partners.
IE9 will take advantage of the power of GPU for rendering. Developers can fully utilize this with CSS, JavaScript and DHTML. IE 9 will also have a new JS engine, enhanced tab browsing, and broader support for HTML5. Recent tests have showed great results for IE9, which are very promising. currently in the beta testing phase and is expected to go to public beta in September.
