Internet Explorer 9 to launch to public on 15 September
Microsoft yesterday updated its bare-bones preview of Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) for the last time, saying that the next release would be a beta build.
Although Microsoft hasn't named a release date for IE9's beta, the six-to-eight week stretch between each Platform Preview may provide a clue: If the company sticks to the same gap between the fourth preview and the beta, the latter should show on or after September 15 - confirming previous messages from Microsoft.
In IE9 Platform Preview 4, Microsoft has integrated its new JavaScript engine into the browser, finished its work on hardware acceleration and boosted performance in several areas, including the Acid3 test, said the IE team's leader.
