Bing Previews a More Beautiful Search Experience in IE9
Today we begin the next chapter of this journey, with IE9 and HTML5. We’ve built some concepts that we were honored to share at the IE9 event today, and we’ll be making that available in preview format for users of the IE9 beta soon.
HTML5 is the fifth major revision of the Web’s core programming standard, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). IE9’s implementation of HTML5 is a big step forward because it allows developers to do lots of things more quickly, and utilizes the full power of the PC as well as the web to bring customers richer, more immersive and more beautiful online experiences. Experiences that start to feel as immersive as the applications that run directly on your PC.
Bing has always stood for re-envisioning search. We’re driven by the belief that in today’s complex world, no matter how fast results are displayed, the experience is not always enough to help you complete your task and make an informed decision. IE9 has given the Bing team a new set of tools with which to re-envision search. The combination of hardware-accelerated HTML5, CSS3, a lightning-fast Javascript engine, and integration with Windows is allowing us to bring search to life in exciting new ways
