On February ten, as expected, Microsoft is making out there for download the near-final check build of Online Explorer (IE nine).Countless are expecting the Softies to create the bits readily available “officially” around 1 pm ET today. (But I just downloaded the final RC bits from WinRumors.com.)Update: The RC bits are offered for download from Microsoft;s BeautyOfTheWeb.com site now.Included in the new RC create is the promised “Tracking Protection” feature,
Office Pro 2010, as well as a new ActiveX filtering option.Tracking Protection is an opt-in mechanism. “Tracking Protection Lists” will enable consumers to control what third-party site content can track them when they’re on-line. The new feature is meant to complement other privacy features in IE, including InPrivate Browsing. ActiveX filtering allows users to turn on/off ActiveX plug-ins.My blogging colleague Ed Bott has an in-depth review of the RC develop of IE 9 here.In the hour-plus I;ve been playing with the IE nine RC,
Microsoft Office 2010 Key, I;ve found it to be noticeably snappier than the beta version. And some of the site rendering issues I;d been having seem to have been resolved. The Twitter Web site, for one,
Office 2010 Pro Plus Activation cl��, seems to be working properly with IE for me, at last. Reader @Alimaggs noted that Facebook and Windows Live Home are both rendering correctly for him with the RC, as well.If you;re like me and want your tabs in a row unto themselves,
Office Professional 2010 X86, apart from the URL/address box, a right click will provide you with an option to show tabs on a separate row below. (Huzzah,
Office Home And Business 2010 Serial clave!)Microsoft is holding an IE nine RC launch event in San Francisco later today. I;m doubtful we;ll hear anything (still) about a ultimate release-to-web target for IE 9, but I;m still thinking Mix ‘11 in mid April this year seems like a good bet.Update No. 2: Microsoft officials are saying there will be no more IE9 test builds released after today;s RC. Next stop is RTW (whenever that is).Testers: Anything else of interest you;re seeing with the IE 9 RC?
