Internet Explorer 9 has arrived

That's right - available from the 14th of March, the new Microsoft Internet Explorer: Version 9.

From the recent downloads, it looks like its here to stay - topping 2 million downloads in the first day - 2.3 million if we're being precise.

I decided to take a look, and it is a very modern; minimalistic look, with squares and sharp edges. But I'm sceptical as to whether it lives up to being, as it claims, "Clean", "Fast" and "Trusted"...

But figures surely speak for themselves, so it must be worth a look -

Want to space/noise save with the new Xbox 360? Good luck..

The 360 is not "slim". But I said that in our first post about the new 'box - so what else is new? Well, as you can see clearly here, in a picture from Engadget, it is no all that much shorter either. I'd call an inch, maybe plus a half  with the originals' HDD.


But guess what? Engadget are also reporting that it's about 1/2 an inch deeper than the original too - so there really will be little to no space saving going on.


Microsoft's claim to "whisper-quiet" has also been put to the test, when playing a game (and that is what it's for, right?) they've said it's no quieter than the original, with a very prominent low humming noise.


So in short, it's not smaller, it's not quieter, but it does look beast (in the good way) and for £199, why not if your looking for an Xbox. If you buy it, use it vertically though. It looks so much better side on than from the front like the shot above, I reckon. I can't believe the designers ever looked at that angle in the front plate, actually from the front.
