If you’ve not been and done the test-drive of IE9 yet then the 3rd preview version has just gone out and it’s really, really worth taking a look even if you’re an internet-denier like me who thinks all this HTML and Javascript stuff will never take off and that the world is just waiting to re-awaken to the power of RIAs and rich client applications.

New in this preview?

• <audio>
• <video>
• <canvas>
• Web Open Font Format (WOFF)

Click the picture to go and do the test-drive (this is for developers rather than end-users);

If you’re following the whole RIA/rich client story then I think some of the IE demos will have specific interest to you such as Deep Zoom, IMDb Video Panorama, Web Fonts, Canvas Pad, Amazon Shelf, FishIE Tank.
