Internet Explorer 9 – Platfom Preview 3 available

After the first preview shown and made available at MIX 2010 in March, Internet Explorer 9 Platform Preview 3 is now available for download and testing. This is, as with the previous two versions, a preview build without any navigation functionality. It’s really made to let you test the rendering and performance.

We encourage you to try out this build and participate by giving your feedback.

Lots new stuff, a few highlights:

• <canvas> tag support
• WOFF (Web Open Font Format) support
• <audio> and <video> tags now available (GPU-powered). To learn more about the HTML5 video support I recommend these blog posts from the IE team: HTML5 Video, Follow Up on HTML5 Video in IE9, and Another Follow-up on HTML5 Video in IE9
• Improved support for previously announced standards (HTML5, CSS3, DOM L2&L3, EcmaScript5)
• New demos live on IE9 Test Drive

Download, test your sites, give feedback and give the special Test Drive demos a spin!
