I mentioned last month that we would be down in Austin, TX for SXSW. Since then there has been plenty of speculation and interest as to what might be happening. Exactly twelve months from the first Platform Preview of IE9, on Monday March 14th we will celebrate the developers and designers who are making a more beautiful web for all of us. We will release the final version of Internet Explorer 9 for download beginning at 9 p.m. Pacific.

I was happy that MS fixed many things in the RC and will be glad to have the IE 9 RTW and FF RTW shortly afterwards. Now onwards to the Beta launch of Windows 8 (Next)

I'm interested to test it, but after the 14th because i want the RTW (the same case for Firefox 4)
I don't like to see comparisons, i've seen a couple so far, and one is saying that IE9 kicks FF4's behind, and the other, says the exact opposite! i'd like to test it myself to see who is the winner (in my book)
