Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) Release Candidate (RC) on February 10, 2011

[JMH]

Microsoft is reportedly gearing up to launch the Release Candidate of Internet Explorer 9 on February 10, 2011.

The Redmond company has yet to confirm this officially, but members of the press (via Ed Bott) were already sent invites to an event in San Francisco, which conspicuously points to the imminent availability of IE9 RC.

According to the invites, the event will involve members of the Internet Explorer team, special guests as well as “some important news.”

The last time that the software giant held an Internet Explorer event in San Francisco it was September 15th, 2010, and they launched IE9 Beta.

Damn it! And I got all excited for today for nothing.

 

[andyparks]

we all did

Hope IE9 could bring us surprises in RC,
it's worth to wait

 

[SoLoR]

Well look on the bright side... we always knew something about RC will happen on 28th but on serious note, it was planned for today, but delayed...

As I pointed out in another thread, I think the big news that we were supposed to hear today is exactly the announcement for this event, not the actual RC. That's just my opinion, though; the consumers simply blew the rumors out of proportions, that's all...

 

[Night Hawk]

I'll be waiting for a look at the RC when actually out for the 64bit Ultimate here. Just about any MS however is subject to the rumor mill.

Looking forward to the Release Candidate. At work, they actually have some of us piloting the beta version. I suspect they'll let is install the Release Candidate when it becomes available.

It was delayed for some reason. I'm not going to get into a debate here, but Russian rumors (especially where these originated from) are a lot more than just a shot in the dark

 

[Phone Man]

I just installed IE9 Beta. My question now will the RC come through Windows Update since I have Beta installed?

Jim

 

[ie9]

If you installed the public beta off of the MS website, then yes, I believe it will come via Windows Update

 

[Gornot]

Correct.

IE9 was delayed because of a conflict of interests, apparentely there is a bloke on a Windows Seven Forum who has taken the name that IE was going to use, so now they may have to change the name unless the bloke decides to change his name, from ie9 to something else....

In other news its been reported that the final release of Windows 7 SP1 is also delayed. Rumor has it that porting Microsoft BOB to windows 7 is taking longer than expected.
