This is somewhat off-topic, but the explanation provided at the time was that some of the features implemented in Windows Internet Explorer 9.0 were not compatible with the Windows XP architecture and so , They would have to develop a version of Windows Internet Explorer 9.04. Windows 7 and Vista users and windows XP. You'll note that this is what they did in the previous release. It was decided to allocate resources to develop windows Internet Explorer 9.0 for Windows seven and Windows Vista users. Please remember that support means that the operating system is supported and updated. This does not mean that all new software packages developed will be compatible with it.
