Following are a few interesting facts about IE9:

* IE9 uses a new script engine codenamed "Chakra"
* IE9 provides better support for several standards: HTML5, DOM, and CSS3
* IE9 provides hardware-accelerated SVG support

IE9 can be installed on systems running Windows 7 and Vista SP2. Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported.

NOTE: There is no Information Bar (aka Gold Bar) in Platform Preview. As a result, downloads initiated by script will not function. Files can be downloaded using the "Save Target As…" in the right-click context menu, by clicking on hyperlinks to files, and by typing a download URL in the Open dialog (Ctrl+O).
