Below are some of the
new features with IE9 :
Pined Sites : Now
you can pin any website to your task bar, this can be
done either by :
- You can drag the
website icon (mostly on the left side of
the website address) to the taskbar.
- Or You can drag the
website tab itself to the taskbar.
as you can see in the below snapshots ,
I have pinned ELMAJDAL.NET to my
taskbar.

Design and
User Interface: The
first thing you will notice about IE9, is its new user
interface and design. More of the website can been seen
now. For example, previously I used to press F11 and go
into full mode to see more. Also You can find
most command bar functions, like Print or Zoom, when you
click the Tools button
.
Enjoy the new simplified design.
One Box For
both Search and Website URL :
Instead of having two boxes, one for the
website URL and other for the search engines, now
IE9 combines the functionality of these two boxes into a
single one. As you can see from the
below snapshot, the different added Search Engines can
be selected by clicking on the Download arrow.

Download Manager :
This is an excellent feature finally
added to IE. With this feature, you can have all your
downloads into a single page, and more over, you can
Pause any of your downloads, and then click on Resume to
continue where it last stopped. Excellent feature !

There are other cool features as well,
so go and install IE9 and experience the new design and
simplicity.
