Software giant Microsoft is preparing to release the next test version of its forthcoming Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) website browsing software early next week. IE8 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) is predicted to surface on Monday night:
MS BLOG: Over the past months, our compatibility team has been hard at work, finding and fixing bugs that cause site rendering issues. Due to the different release schedules for Windows 7 Beta and IE8 RC1, some of these bug fixes didn't make it into Windows 7 Beta (aka Build 7000). So, if you want to use the latest version of IE8 youll want to install IE8 RC1 for Windows Vista or Windows XP.
Historically one or two additional RC's will usually follow and hopefully Microsoft will have improved some of the performance and rendering problems that hampered last years IE8 Beta 2 release.
