Internet Explorer 8 Delayed Until 2009

Barence writes "Microsoft has confirmed that Internet Explorer 8 will not be officially released until 2009. According to a blog posting on the Internet Explorer 8 development site, a release candidate of the browser will be released in the first quarter of next year, to be followed by a final release at an unspecified date. This news comes on the same day that Google is considering bundling its Chrome browser with new PCs. Will the IE delay and Google's tactics help to steer users in Chrome's direction?"

    Perhaps they will fix the unspecified error when doing an innerHTML change to a span tag. After finding what line of code it was you need to change it to an inline div

    If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

    Oh pish-posh, I bet if I hired a thousand programmers, I could create an Algol compiler in less than six months.
