Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 Won’t Ship Until 2009

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 Won't Ship Until 2009Microsoft will release one more public beta of the browser software in the first quarter of 2009, according to a blog posting Wednesday by Dean Hachamovitch, Internet Explorer general manager at Microsoft. That "release candidate" will be followed by the final release, Hachamovitch said.

Solution providers and developers have eagerly anticipated IE8 for such new features as its expanded security and privacy capabilities, including allowing users to decide whether to let the browser save cookies and browsing history. 

Hachamovitch said Microsoft "received a lot of feedback about how we transitioned from the IE7 beta releases to the IE7 final release, and as a result we want to be clear about the plan for IE8."
