nsane.forums Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Microsoft has just sent out media invites to an Internet Explorer 9 event on February 10th. The announcement will take place in San Francisco. Earlier today, screen shots of IE 9 build number .6018 began surfacing on the web which indicates that someone outside of Microsoft now has a copy of that build. It was expected that an RC build was going to be released today, according to our good pal Tom Warren, but it not looks as if Microsoft is going to turn this launch into a major media event. “Members from the Internet Explorer team (and some special guests) will be visiting San Francisco in two weeks to share some important news. I know it’s an extremely busy news week already, but we’re hoping you can join us.” Microsoft is gearing up for the launch of IE 9 as it attempts to remain competitive in the browser marketplace. For Microsoft, IE 9 represents its latest attempt to remain the browser king while it fights off contenders Firefox, Chrome and a host of others. If Microsoft does not find a way to stop users from leaving the platform, its marketshare will continue to drop until it is no longer the market leader.

Administrator DKT27 Posted January 28, 2011 Administrator Share Posted January 28, 2011 IE 9 RC escrow build leaks out ahead of public releas Microsoft is gearing up for the launch of IE 9 as it attempts to remain competitive in the browser marketplace. For Microsoft, IE 9 represents its latest attempt to remain the browser king while it fights off contenders Firefox, Chrome and a host of others. Early Friday, an RC build of IE 9 was leaked out, and Winreview.ru posted up a few screenshots of the leak. The version that hit the web is 9.00.8073.6018 (WIN7_IE9_Partner.110121-2300). It is believed by many that Microsoft is gearing up for the release of IE 9 and the RC builds are of near final quality. [update: To clear up some confusion, .6018 may not be available for download, yet, but someone does have this build outside of Microsoft.] Microsoft is also taking privacy to a new level, allowing the browser to block a website's ability to use location based services too. With a leak of an RC-quality build to the web, it only adds further evidence that Microsoft is about ready to release the final product. While no final date has been set, it should appease IE fans that it is expected sooner rather than later. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naota Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 WTF?! IE the browser king? I wonder what M$ is smoking Well it technically is since most people don't seem to know to use a better browser. ^_^ But I really hope IE9 shines here. It would be great for everyone... plus it would make the pain of using other people's computers less if they have IE9 as their only browser when they get their new computers in the future.
