Microsoft internal document leakage IE9 is coming soon in September?

This is July 22,. I have not yet seen any public release beta version of IE9. This document indicates that IE9 will be released in July. Is it because IE9 has been published on July 9? Be suspicious!

A few days ago, some insiders provided a demonstration document from Microsoft, mainly to show Microsoft partners Internet Explorer 9 promotion activities to participate in the program, as well as new features of IE9. Microsoft said in this demonstration that IE9 will launch a global promotion campaign starting from January 1, September 1 this year. Microsoft also introduced some new improvements of IE9, including: displaying thumbnails of common websites by default on new tabs; dragging a single tab to the super taskbar and automatically creating shortcuts. Microsoft also called IE9 "the page opening speed is 50 times faster than IE8 ".

Microsoft said in the presentation that IE9 will hold global promotional activities on the theme of "the beauty of the Internet" starting from April 9, September 1 this year, including on-site activities, press conferences, and online activities. It is estimated that the cost of online promotion will be as high as $42 million.

In the demonstration document, Microsoft promised a lot of benefits to its partners:

1. Each partner can send two representatives to participate in all the on-site release activities held by Microsoft around the world. Microsoft will be responsible for travel expenses for the two participants, up to 5000 US dollars;
2. More than 100 media and blog authors are expected to attend the Publishing Association;
3. participate in Microsoft's internal pre-release cocktail party;
4. Partners can click a link on Microsoft's official website to display their IE9 promotion sites, accompanied by a video introduction. In addition, you will have the opportunity to become a guest on the blog of the Microsoft team in IE9;
5. Partners will be introduced in the brochure for on-site release activities.

The demonstration confirms that IE9 will have a new JS rendering engine, DOM and page orchestration optimization, GPU acceleration, and HTML5 support.

Other user experience improvements include:

1. Page opening speed is 50 times faster than IE8
2. The new tab displays thumbnails of common websites by default.
3. You can drag a single tab to the super taskbar to automatically create a shortcut.
4. More powerful Developer Tools
