Internet Explorer 11 Release Preview

This is a Release Preview of Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7. The release contains many of the performance boosts included with the browser in Windows 8.1, though it lacks any of that operating system's "Metro" styling.

IE11 introduces new capabilities to improve real-world Web site performance. IE11 is the first browser to natively decode JPG images in real-time on the GPU, so pages load faster and use less memory, reducing power consumption and improving battery life. IE11 is also the first browser to render text on the GPU. Text and images are the heart of the Web, and accelerated text and JPG performance impacts nearly every page you see.
