Microsoft has teamed up with several online services to promote the arrival of Internet Explorer 9. Folks running the latest iteration of IE will be able to take advantage of deals from Hulu, Groupon, eBay, Slacker and Gilt Groupe. In addition to attracting new users, Microsoft says the partnerships will show other sites how they can customize their web experience to take advantage of IE9's new features.
Some of the deals are available immediately while others will go live over the coming months. All of them require Windows 7's new taskbar, so it seems Vista and XP users are out of luck. Starting March 28, IE9 users will receive a free month of Hulu Plus by pinning and accessing the promotion through the Jump List. Hulu Plus usually costs $7.99 a month and includes higher quality videos and more content.
