The Internet Explorer official blog says that the downloads hits 2.35 million in first 24 hours. Not particularly stunning seeing as Firefox released version 3 in 2008 and got the record for 8 million downloads in a day according to Guinness Book of World Record. So if you are an IE user this is the latest version of the browser to hit the market and even if you don’t use IE it is built into the operating system and comes into play for many system functions so my recommendation is upgrade now to get the latest security features installed in your Windows Operating System today. And then install Google’s Chrome web browser and use it for surfing the web. Of course you do need to be running Vista or Windows7 in order to install IE9.
