Now Microsoft has teamed up with some of the big names on the web, including Groupon, Gilt Groupe, Slacker, Hulu, and eBay, to bring exciting offers in order to promote their latest browser Internet Explorer 9. You could earn yourself a free month of premium Hulu, or $5 in Groupon Bucks, or even an Xbox 360. These offers all have one thing in common – they showcase the new IE 9 taskbar pinning feature which allows to access your favorite sites directly from the Windows taskbar without having to open your browser first.

To be eligible for these offers, all you need to do is download IE 9 final version, install it, and pin the participating website to your taskbar, and use the IE9 jump-list links to activate your free offers. To pin a website, simply click the web page icon in Internet Explorer and drag it your Windows task bar.

Some of the offers start today and some you will see over the coming months. Here is what each promotional partner site is giving away
