Microsoft planning IE9 announcement on March 14, launch imminent?

Earlier today Microsoft unveiled plans for a special celebration for "Beauty of the Web" hosted by the Internet Explorer 9 team. The Internet Explorer team made the announcement today on their blog but did not specify if this will be the launch event for IE 9.
