At one week after Internet Explorer 9 was released to web we have a small treat for you.

A copy IE9 RTW which was optimized for Softpedia is now available for download. This custom release of IE9 offers the same feature set as the plain vanilla flavor of the browser, but also something extra, to make your experience on our website even more enjoyable.

For example, the Softpedia Edition of Internet Explorer 9 comes with a couple of preinstalled search providers with Visual Search and Suggestions, focused on the Windows and News categories.

The browser also features preconfigured accelerators for the search providers speeding up the searching process when it comes to queries including elements from a page that’s already opened.

With this flavor of IE9 RTW you will also be able to keep up to date with our news. The browser sports preinstalled Web Slices for the Latest News on Softpedia.

Installing this custom copy of IE9 will also add www.softpedia.com as extra homepage, which means that any existing homepages will be kept in place.

Just as is the case for the original version of the browser, the Softpedia-optimized IE9 supports only Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Microsoft launched IE9 on March 15th, 2011 providing a modern browser designed as a valid alternative to rivals.

The software giant is allowing third-parties to build custom installation packages of IE9 RTW, similar in nature to the copy optimized for Softpedia that you can download.

For this, the company is offering the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) 9. Customers that want to take advantage of IEAK 9 will first need to download and install IE9 RTW. Documentation on just how to leverage IEAK 9 is available for free via TechNet.
