IE9 to arrive Monday as Firefox 4 hits RC
Microsoft will release Internet Explorer 9 on 14 March, while Mozilla has signed off on the release candidate for Firefox 4.
The release candidate for IE9 arrived last month, after a series of developer previews, but Microsoft suggested there were "still a few surprises left". "There are a lot of new amazing things to share," said IE senior director Ryan Gavin, in a post on the IE blog. The Monday release coincides with the start of the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
Meanwhile, Mozilla developers said the first release candidate for Firefox 4 would arrive either today or tomorrow, as soon as quality assurance (QA) checks were finished. That's already happened this afternoon, according to developer Asa Dotzler on Twitter: "QA just signed off on Firefox 4 release candidate builds."
