Microsoft’s ninth iteration of their troublesome Internet browser is set to have a beta released to the public this September, says Microsoft Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner.
Unlike the test previews currently available to the public, the beta build will feature a more usable user interface, making it more of a browser than a demo of the rendering engine.
IE9 will be far more standards-compliant compared to older versions, which is demonstrated through various demos in the test previews, showing off the new HTML5, SVG 1.1 2nd edition, CSS3 media queries, CSS3 borders & backgrounds, CSS3 selectors, DOM level 3 core, DOM level 3 events and DOM level 2 style abilities.
Neowin has also posted some screenshots of a leak, which can also be seen after the break.
These screenshots only show IE9’s new download manager, and does not feature a new UI, which has remained similar since IE7. Neowin claims that these are genuine.
