The latest preview build of Internet Explorer 9 is now available for download. The third Platform Preview of IE9, which was unveiled at an event in San Francisco on Wednesday, offers some more flavors from the HTML5 platter, including support for the <AUDIO>, <VIDEO> and <CANVAS> tags. The preview build is designed to flaunt IE9's ability to tap into the underlying hardware, something that can provide a major performance boost to in-browser apps and HTML5 video.
Being a developer preview, it is aimed at web developers and designers and not suited for ordinary use. It only supports Windows 7 or Windows Vista SP2, with special updates required on both the operating systems to facilitate its installation.
