What do you get with the world's best browser?

The first thing you get with the Platform Preview of Internet Explorer 4.0 Suite is the fastest, most personalized, and fun browser to use on the Web. And that's just for starters. You also get the broadest set of communication and collaboration tools available, which you can use for everything from sending richly formatted e-mail to using your computer as an Internet phone—you can even hold a video conversation, if you're not having a bad hair day!—to designing your own Web site.

All the cool new features in the Internet Explorer 4.0 Suite add up to the most easy, complete, and personal way to access the exciting world of the Internet:

  • It's easier. Browsing the Internet is easier now that you can take advantage of improved searching, an AutoComplete feature that makes typing Internet addresses easier, and Smart Favorites that let you know when one of your favorite Web sites has been updated. And if you choose the Integrated Shell option, you will now have a single way to browse the Internet, an intranet, and your computer.
  • It's complete. Internet Explorer 4.0 comes with all you need to get the most out of the Internet. In addition to the best Internet browser available, you get full-featured tools for e-mail, newsgroups, video-conferences, chat sessions, application-sharing, broadcasting, and authoring and publishing Web pages.
  • It's personal. Get the Web the way you want it with Internet Explorer 4.0. Customize QuickLinks and organize your favorite Web sites by simply dragging and dropping. Create a personalized Internet Start page. And use the Integrated Shell Preview to turn your desktop into your own interactive, multimedia Web page, where the content you care about most updates automatically!

Warning: Before you decide to download the browser, be aware that the Platform Preview of Internet Explorer 4.0 is a developer's release, which means it is intended for computer professionals to evaluate, but not for people to run on the machines they count on for their daily work. The product is still in the testing phase, and Microsoft makes no promises about its stability or whether you'll be able to properly view your favorite sites with the browser delivered in this Platform Preview. As with all preview and beta releases, no phone support is provided for the Platform Preview of Internet Explorer 4.0.
