Following the launch of the new Internet Explorer (IE) 9 browser, Microsoft has teamed up with several online services to promote the IE9.
By running the latest version of Internet Explorer on your computer, you can take advantage of deals from Hulu, Groupon, eBay, Slacker and Gilt Groupe, well, only if you are running Windows 7 on your system. 🙂 All of them require you to pin sites to the taskbar on Windows 7 desktop.
Okay, now let’s take a look at all the available deals, shall we? Note : To pin a website in IE9, simply click and drag the web page icon to your Windows 7 taskbar. Simple as that. 🙂
1. Free One Month Subscription of Hulu Plus
Starting March 28, IE9 users will receive a free month of Hulu Plus by pinning the Hulu website to your Windows 7 taskbar and access the promotion through the Jump List. Hulu Plus usually costs $7.99 a month and includes higher quality videos and more content. However, please take note that Hulu is currently available only in U.S.
