Microsoft has released Internet Explorer 11 along with Windows 8.1, claiming to offer a unique web and computing experience based on touch.
The Windows maker emphasised the importance of a touchscreen interface for the latest devices, hoping that users will forget the lacklustre performance of Windows 8 and embrace new machines with Windows 8.1.
The upgrade, which will be released in the autumn and is currently in preview, includes the return of the Start menu as well as more forward thinking moves such as the support of 3D printing.
Key to the new software, however, is an upgrade to Internet Explorer, and the company claimed IE11 is “fast, fluid and perfect for touch”. Microsoft said IE11 would load pages faster and offer better browsing across a range of devices.
