You apparently didn't bother to check the system requirements.

No.

That is, IE9 is not supported on XP. You can try if you want, but they don't
think it will work. More correctly, they don't care if it doesn't work.

So just where did you read about IE9? You didn't actually visit
Microsoft's own web page on IE9. If you had, you would have seen that
IE9 doesn't install on pre-Vista versions of Windows.

http://www.microsoft.com/ie9

Now read that big orange banner sprawled across the top of the page.
See what it says about Windows XP? Microsoft is attempting to use IE9
to drag customers still using pre-Vista versions of Windows to newer
versions. Their excuse is that the security features built into IE9
rely on functionality only present in the newer Windows versions.

IE9 is supposed to encompass GPU acceleration to make faster its
rendering of 2D/3D content (that's nothing to do with bandwidth). Other
web browsers are doing the same. Chromium already has it and Google
will eventually migrate to v7 to also have it, and the same for SRware
Iron, Comodo Dragon, and other web browsers that are derivatives of
Chromium. I've heard that Firefox 4 will have it. So while Microsoft
attempts to pull customers to newer versions of Windows, the other web
browser makers will support hardware acceleration on the older versions
of Windows. Windows XP still comprises over half of Windows users.
Microsoft's market share of web browsers will plummet even more.

Rather than force users to migrate up from Windows XP, Microsoft will
simply force more users to migrate away from Internet Explorer. They
will become even less important as a web browser selection. There are
very good reasons why the majority of users have chosen to remain back
on Windows XP, and a new version of IE won't lure that populace to
upgrade. Probably the biggest push Microsoft can give to Windows XP
users to upgrade to newer Windows versions will be when they drop
support for security updates but that won't happen until 2014.
Mainstream support for Windows XP has already been dead for about a year
and a half and yet users continue using it. Just because Microsoft
doesn't support their software doesn't make it suddenly unusable.

For gods sake why do you lie all the time? IE9 is meant for Vista
and above but you seem to have burried your head in the sand. Go
and play with your shitty OS and don't misinform Microsoft
Customers.

The final version of IE9 is way ahead of time because even
Microsoft have accepted that IE9 is going to be a big flop if
there is any truth in this article:
