Microsoft has announced that it will deliver the first release candidate (RC1) of Internet Explorer 8 to the public on Monday.
IE8 has been at beta 2 since August 2008, and this new early release is highly anticipated by many in the industry.
According to Microsoft, “a release candidate means the software is feature complete and the code is basically stable, and a final release is imminent”.
IE8 is more compliant with web standards such as CSS, to web developers delight.
IE8 RC1 will be released for both Windows XP and Windows Vista. We will post links to the download when they are available.
