IE9 RTW / Final Will Come Very Soon

[yowanvista]

Don’t expect Internet Explorer 9 to cook for much longer now that the Release Candidate development milestone is available for download.

On February 10, 2011, Microsoft launched IE9 RC 9.0.8080.16413 worldwide in no less than 40 languages.

The RC Build introduces a comprehensive set of improvements across various aspects of Internet Explorer 9, including performance, standards, user experience, and safety and privacy.

Not only is IE9 RC faster than Beta and rival browsers, but it now comes with such features as Tracking Protection, allowing users to control what third-parties can track them while online.

Good! I've breifly tested the Beta...not RC, i'm waiting few weeks now!

They said "very soon" about the beta of IE9 being in March last year and looks how long it took. But if it's in March this year I'll be happy. The RC is a vast improvement over the beta. Obviously, but usually IE browsers have always been slow even when MS claim that they are faster.

Hope the RTW is soon.

Glad to see the RC, the beta was crashing alot, so far no crashes with RC.

My Reliability Monitor is looking pretty bad, hope it returns to pre-beta marks.

I have been running IE9 for about 3-months and feel that the Release Candidate is indeed ready to be released. In my opinion this version is the best Internet Explorer that I have run yet. But for now...I'm still stuck on chrome!

IE9 prevents GTA IV from opening. Though that was the RC.

I have been using IE9 quite often the past couple of months. I have to say, its an amazing browser. I am thoroughly impressed by the IE team for creating such a good browser. After being an IE hater for the past couple of years, now I can almost go as far as saying that I prefer IE9 to Google Chrome. In fact, the ONLY reason why I am not immediately switching from FF to IE9 is the lack of AdBlock Plus, which I have been using for years, and cannot find anything that competes.

Keep up the good work !

It's faster than IE8 and that's for sure...but lol..I'm gunna perservere with it for a while and see what happens...Firefox is such a memory hog and I don't have much time for google,tried Opera and did'nt like it so I'm hoping IE will fit...I think I have the RC installed..downloaded it from MS last night when I reinstalled the OS.

Don't like Bing either really but thats a small thing really.

There are ways to change the default search engine .

Just noticed that AdBlock Plus Beta is released for Google Chrome ! I dunno.....its pretty darn good, might stick with this for a while.

Hi there
Query for IE9

Will it allow download of files > 4 GB. One of the problems I've had with IE in the past is that I can't often download directly Linux ISO's since the size of the ISO is bigger than IE allows on download.

Hopefully this has been fixed.

Cheers

Hi Jimbo,

I've just (for testing purposes) downloaded test file via IE9 RC. File size = 5 368 709 120 bytes = 5GB

So this is not a problem for newest IE anymore
