Browser wars heat up every so often. Get ready for some heat. Microsoft released Internet Explorer 9, the latest version of the co mpany's venerable Web browser. Rival Mozilla just introduced the all-but-official version of Firefox 4. Both will go up against the ever-speedy and sparse Google Chrome, which was recently updated to version 10.
These are good times for Web surfers. The three leading browser makers have all released new versions of their software in recent months. The new versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla's Firefox and Google's Chrome offer faster page loading, streamlined designs and additional features, including ways to block Web advertisers from tracking your online movements.
If you're one of the many who abandoned Microsoft's Internet Explorer in favor of popular alternatives such as Firefox, Opera or the relatively new Chrome, there's now reason to rethink that decision. Microsoft recently unveiled a beta version of Internet Explorer 9, which sports a new look and feel, and it is definitely worth a look.

In case you had not noticed, Microsoft has unleashed Internet Explorer 8 onto the cyber world, which brought with it some good news and bad. Version 8, which has been awaited for more than a year, came with little fanfare, by Microsoft standards. The downside, from a business perspective, is that many corporate PCs ended up getting the "upgrade," thanks to overzealous employees, and many legacy business applications immediately broke because they were not designed to work with it.
Letters have clogged the mailbox this week as people are preparing for summer and doing some spring-cleaning. Let's get right to it. Question: I can't believe you recommended Internet Explorer 8. I installed it a couple weeks before your article ran and had all kinds of problems with it and had to uninstall it to get my computer back. What a piece of junk it is.
