4. Current version of Internet Explorer Web browser from Microsoft Released to the public on March 14, 2011

5. System requirements for Internet Explorer 9 Operating Systems supported Windows 7 Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows Vista (with Service Pack 2) Windows Server 2008 (with Service Pack 2) Windows XP is not supported. Both 32-bit and 64-bit builds are available.

6. Windows XP is not supported.

7. Why XP is out of Picture? IE9 uses the Direct2D feature of DirectX which is available only in Windows 7, Vista SP2 & Server 2008 R2, not in XP. Windows XP users have a fast, safe, reliable and private browser in IE8 that IE9 doesn’t provide for XP. IE 9 requires the modern graphics and security underpinnings that have come since 2001, which XP lacks. IE9 is intended to be run on a modern OS in order to build on the latest hardware and OS innovations. IE9 require a discrete graphics card and prefer multiple cores. Such things didn’t exist in XP
