Microsoft ready to deliver another IE 9 developer preview
I’m hearing from my sources that Microsoft is planning to make available for download later today, June 23, its third technical preview (i.e., pre-beta) of Internet Explorer 9.
Back in March, the IE 9 team committed to providing developers with updates to its IE 9 code every eight weeks. The team delivered its first developer preview in March, 2010, and made a public commitment to providing more support for emerging HTML5, CSS3 and SVG2 standards with the product. The most recent developer preview was released to the Web in early May. These previews, available from Microsoft’s IE 9 test drive site, have allowed developers to measure Microsoft’s progress on performance and standards-compliance, as it refines the next version of its browser.
It sounds like today’s tech preview will be more of the same. I asked Microsoft officials for comment as to their plans earlier this week and got a no comment.
