What makes Internet Explorer 9 fast?
Hardware Acceleration
Internet Explorer 9 uses the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to load web pages, rather than relying solely on
the Central Processing Unit (CPU), leading to vastly increased graphical performance:
Websites run at full speed
Animations don’t slow down when the computer is doing something else
Fast JavaScript Performance
The new Chakra JavaScript engine in Internet Explorer 9 makes the dynamic
and visual-rich content of modern websites faster than other browsers:
In some tests, JavaScript is over 90 per cent faster in Internet Explorer 9 than Internet Explorer 8

Why privacy and security are critical, and what makes Internet Explorer 9 secure and trusted
Privacy and Security
Why privacy and security matter
Malware and hacking are growing problems. Internet Explorer 9 blocks 99 per cent of socially
engineered malware, more than any other browser
Malware can spread rapidly, stealing or damaging business-critical information
and disabling network infrastructure
Unsecured browsing is an easy way for malware to infect corporate networks
Privacy of information are legal requirements in the UK

How does Internet Explorer 9 improve privacy?
Tracking Protection
Internet Explorer 9 lets you create Tracking Protection Lists (TPL) that allow you to block
third-party sites that use tracking to monitor your behaviour
SmartScreen Technology
SmartScreen notifies users when they visit websites, or download files, that could contain
malware, but stays out of the way for well known sites and downloads
InPrivate browsing
InPrivate browsing can be used where you don't want your history to be stored on your
computer. This feature is one of 1500 settings controlled through Group Policy

The lifecycle of a browser and why manage it
Deployment, Management & Compatibility
Deployment, Management & Compatibility
Having a standard environment makes support easier, which
could reduce helpdesk calls and therefore cost
Automating installation can reduce complexity for end users
The longest support life cycle of any browser out there –
allowing you to upgrade your browser at your own pace
A stable, predictable and controllable browser can help
maintain a reliable and constant user experience in your
organisation
