Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 RTM Details Rev. 4.1

**MIG-31** · Apr 15, 2009, 12:44 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!

How is this news, exactly? I've been running IE8 for a while now.

Yea I was thinking that too... You can already download IE8 directly from Microsoft's site.

I just get sent the email... then post it here...Its entirely up to you if you wish to read it.

Also note that TechARP tends to Revise the links instead of posting them as fresh..So this would of started of before IE8 was officially released.That's why the Rev 4.1 is in the heading.

Hi, my name'e Feran and I'm with the Internet Explorer Outreach Team. Just to let everyone here know - the final IE8 was released March 19th for Vista, XP and Windows Server 2008 and 2003. The IE in Windows 7 is still the beta 2. The final IE8 will most likely be made compatibile with the final release of Windows 7.

Hope that helps clarify!
