Microsoft conducts a proprietary test for IE9 in Mango
Published on Jul 14, 2011
As we all know Microsoft is planning to acquire a huge market share by introducing its latest update for Windows Phone 7, which is none other than Mango.
The American software giant Microsoft has conducted a proprietary test, to showcase the power of Internet Explorer 9 on the latest Mango update for Windows Phone 7. The company might have done this to beat its competitors like BlackBerry, iOS, and Android that is engaged fish bowl test.
Certainly, the fish bowl test was developed by Microsoft, so it’s tad bit difficult to rely on the test completely. It will be again like the Acid3 test on which people pointed out, as on that almost no browsers have received a perfect score apart from Opera. Any guesses? of course, Opera developed the test. But, otherwise from preparing the test, Microsoft was quite fair in the setup.
Microsoft contended a BlackBerry Torch opposite to a DROID Charge, an iPhone 4 running iOS 5 beta 3 version OS, and what looks like an HTC HD7 running WP7 Mango. It seems good that at least the hardware is about on par. And, also that they used iOS 5, however, they could have also picked a Android 2.3 Gingerbread device just to have the latest software all around.
What we find after watching this video is, Microsoft's IE9 mobile team has really done a great job. The Windows Phone 7 browser was already fantastic according to us, but since IE9 has arrived with Mango it will be more interesting now.
