Latest Internet Explorer 9 Release

[Francis93]

It's 3:10am in San Francisco. In our time zone, IE9 beta downloads should go live in between 1am or 2am.

I feel cheated... Right now its 1:05pm, 15 Sept. And no download!
So I guess I have to wait a few more hours for America to catch up...

I know, by the time we get it, September the 15th will already be over.

Why does america have to be way behind everybody else.

It should be a case of first in, best served.

Anyone know what time the UK will get it, or is it just America???????

Sorry just read the 1st post ,6:30 pm

IE9 will they or won't they

September 15 has been broadly accepted as the release date for a public beta. Will this happen or won't it?

San Francisco is also supposed to be the launch venue but everything has gone quiet on this.

Any thoughts?

Internet Explorer 9 to be launched tonight

Personally, I don't really care about the browser wars anymore...

Hi there
there are only 2 possible outcomes for this

It WILL be released or it Won't be.

I still don't understand what the whole fuss is about anyway -- these days speed of internet browsing depends on so many other factors such as server speed from host site, your own ISP speed, what scripts are being run etc etc that the actual part the browser plays in all this is really over exaggerated.

In any case once the browser has to run 3rd party add ins like Flash then it really doesn't have total control over how fast it runs in any case.

This to me seems like the dying vestiges of a 20th century piece of software making excuses for itself in a 21st century world.

I'm sure 99.99% of users would much rather the browser incorporated a decent virus blocker than all the other "features" you could think of.

If you don't use the net you don't need AV software so why shouldn't the AV software be incorporated into the browser --makes perfect sense to me.

Cheers
jimbo

Here is a nice article from Ed Bott, posted today which covers the highlights of this browser as well as the minimal interface shown above;

So, the UI leak really was real. I have read some comments on Neowin and they refer to some interesting details.
Seriously, come on already, Microsoft, download link xD

 

[OneSerious]

Right Microsoft, get the finger out. I want to DL this bad boy.

As I used to say: IE is the browser that you can use for download another browser.

I never used IE, but this one... I can't wait to hug it

 

[Gornot]

I personally have to mention that I love the new IE icon. It has a cartoonish look to it, its very colorfull and sleek... I guess its things aren't about glassy, glossy, Aero etc. Imagine Win8 like that
