Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 RTM Details

Adrian Wong · 17th Feb 2009, 11:47 PM

Although Microsoft has consistently asserted in public that Windows 7 will probably only be launched in 2010, the truth is they are rushing for a December 2009 release. How close are they? Well, one of Windows 7's key components, Internet Explorer 8 is almost ready for launch!

We just received word that Microsoft is ready to release Internet Explorer 8 to manufacturing (RTM) in the next few weeks. Let's take a look at the information we managed to get our grubby little hands on!

Well, it still has bugs. I've installed it on two systems (fresh install on a system and upgrade from version 6 on another) and it hangs-crashes without a warning, no error code. All updates applied on both systems...I'll stay with Opera and Firefox. I'm forced to use IE for some TVOnline sites 'cause they don't support other browsers. Anyway it's not a big thing since I'm using IE for testing websites (rendering speed, loading times and so on). I guess pretty soon updates will emerge.
