Have you been hearing all about Microsofts work on Internet Explorer 9 and are curious about it?
Note: The platform preview will install to a Program Files Folder named Internet Explorer Platform Preview.
Note: You will not be able to alter the Homepage for the platform preview.
Want to see what a webpage will look like in an older version of Internet Explorer?
Then choose your version in the Debug Menu.
We did find it humorous that IE6 was excluded from the choices offered.
Here is the main page of the site here displayed in IE9 Mode…looking good.
Here is the main page viewed in Forced IE5 Document Mode.
There were some minor differences (colors, sidebar, etc.)
in how the main page displayed in comparison to IE9 Mode.
Here is a close look at the left side of the Address Bar Mini-Tool.
And a close look at the right side of the Address Bar Mini-Tool.
for completely shut down the Address Bar Mini-Tool you will need to press Close.
Even if the platform preview is not running the Address Bar Mini-Tool can still run as shown here.
Now for some fun.
With just the Address Bar Mini-Tool open you might enter an address and cause the platform preview to open.
Here is our example from above now open in the platform preview…good to go.
