It's released!
MICROSOFT has released the latest version of its Internet Explorer web browsing software free in a bid to fend off recent challenges by Firefox and Google Chrome. "IE9 has just released around the world," a booming voice told a cheering crowd at 11pm on Monday (1600 AEDT today) in the Austin City Limits Live concert hall where a launch party was being held.
Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) was available for download in 30 languages at beautyoftheweb.com.
More than 40 million copies of IE9 have already been downloaded as part of the process leading up to its official release, according to Microsoft.
The browser is included in Windows software, and the operating system remains at a core of Microsoft's software empire.
