So, its only the external devices that will help it out like your Phone or PC or iPad like devices. Using Keyboard is pain when it comes to IE on Xbox like entering a website name on the address bar.

Oh and if anybody's interested my XBox Live handle is (no surprise) TheMegaManFan.Finally a browser has come to your TV and if you had not liked browsing through your smart tv and Xbox had always been your priority, you will be happy about IE coming to Xbox and yes it works as good as IE on Windows 8 we had been using. Next on my list - taking the shrinkwrap off Bioshock. It freaked me out a little to see that it was the ARCADE version of Contra though, since I'm so used to playing the NES version. At least it seems pretty comparable once you get past that - it costs you 500 points to download Contra on the Wii and 400 to download it on XBox but in the end it's $5 either way. It took me awhile to get used to the points scheme, because on the Wii I'm used to a 1 to 1 ratio (100 points = $1) but they just had to be freakin' confusing and make it 1 to 1.25, so 400 points is actually $5, and buying 2000 costs you $25 instead of $20. If Solitaire is free that will be a nice addition. It's a bit of a shame that I've only seen two free so far - Hexic and Aegis War. Actually I don't even know that's on my XBLA download list but since there are 10 new games every time I turn it on it's hard to keep track. I hadn't even thought of trying it with Solitaire yet, but I'm sure I will. One of our most played games is Solitair, it's very relaxing to kick back, pull up your favorite tunes, and play with yourself. By the way, I get a kick out of the custom soundtracks too.
