IE9 available tonight, not at noon today
Published:
I realized that I goofed in a previous blog entry. IE9 will be available for download tonight, not at 12 noon today (Eastern Time) like I previously said.
The exact time it will be available for download is 12 midnight Eastern Time (9 p.m. Pacific Time), tonight (March 14).

"pull an Apple?"
I am sure you just forgot. IE4 could not be used on Windows3 - could only be used for Windows3.1 and newer. And of course who could forget, NO full-screen DOS compatibility starting with Vista.
My dual-CPU PowerPC-based Mac can attest to that quite nicely. It didn't even live past a single "tenth" of an OS upgrade.
Microsoft, on the other hand, supports their older products far too long for most consumer usage. They do it because of their CORPORATE customers, who make up a huge chunk of their profits. That's why Windows XP is still supported more than a decade after it was released. Not because of you consumers, but because so many businesses have programs written for it.
And my God, you're going to tell me that Microsoft pulled the plug on DOS applications TOO SOON?! That fraking DOS support was the bane of Windows for WAY too long. It's a marvel that to this day they continue to support most old DOS stuff.
I'm not even going to mention the IE4 on Win 3.1 comment - I'm sure you must be joking. You're speaking with someone who developed a lot of stuff on that platform, so I know full-well what Win 3 looked like, and how many [i.e., how few] people were using it at the time.
I could go on and say the same about some outdated Windows programs as well. There is no better email client than Outlook Express. It can be hacked into Win7 but it won't be stable. Windows Live Mail does not let you see source code - and email source code is part of nearly everyday for me.
So anyway this P4 2.6Ghz 2GB runs XP SP3 perfectly. Instant renderings multiple sessions NP. the machine is dimension2400. Never reboots, no BSOD!!!! Why do I need Win7 and show my stuff on the TV, and IE9? So I can teach my homies how to get the Gaga.
Recycle your old PCs to your local charities wipe your hard drives! IE9 is the Chromie.
