Windows Vista’s taskbar doesn’t include the new pinning features, so at first it seems like Vista users are left out of the fun.īut, don’t despair: it turns out, there’s still a way you can pin your favorite sites to the Vista taskbar with the Quick Access toolbar. One of the most talked about IE 9 features is the ability to pin websites to the taskbar in Windows 7, enabling you to user your favorite sites and webapps with more native Windows integration than before. Be sure to try out some of the demos at Microsoft’s site to see how much faster the new IE is. You may be asked to select security settings when you first run IE 9.Īfter that, you’ll be ready to enjoy the latest IE features and speed in Windows Vista. It should only take a few minutes, and then you’ll be prompted to reboot your computer to finish the setup.

IE 9 will now install the same as it does in Windows 7. Install Service Pack 2, and then run the installer again to setup IE 9. If you don’t already have it installed, IE 9’s installer will let you know that it’s not supported on your current service pack. The biggest difference is that you’ll need to have Service Pack 2 installed before you can install it. Installing IE 9 on Vista works almost the same as it does on Windows 7.
