JavaNobody delivers Java™ like Microsoft Internet Explorer.
So maybe you've heard the hype about Java. Maybe you've even seen it work. Microsoft Internet Explorer does Java like no other browser - with one of the fastest implementations and most complete integrations of Java available today. And with our Just-In-Time compiler, Java applets run faster than ever before. Programmers can even use scripting languages (such as VB Script and JScript) to link Java Applets to other ActiveX Controls, giving them more power and extended functionality.

The final version of Internet Explorer 3.0 includes Microsoft's latest Java implementation. As well as significantly enhancing the speed and stability of the Just-In-Time compiler, so that you can run more applets faster, we've also added support for a new, open, backwards-compatible compression technology. This will mean that classes will download to your machine faster, and you can even have class libraries installed, so you don't have to reload them every time! Read about this technology (called cabinets) and other Java-related development issues in the newly-made Java Information and Resources of the Site-Builder Workshop.

So what does all this mean for you? It means that you can do things with Java and Internet Explorer that nobody else can. And it means faster, more stable, and more functional Java support while you surf the Web. In fact, Pendragon Software's Java Performance Test shows that Internet Explorer beats Netscape Navigator in nearly every category tested. But don't just take our word for it. Download Microsoft Internet Explorer today and see for yourself.



Then watch how Microsoft Internet Explorer delivers Java like no other browser.
