It’s a good week for Microsoft fanboys! Microsoft have today made Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate available for download.
We’ve covered some of the great features IE9 has to offer in the past, we’ve also taken a look at tweaking the browser to better suit your needs.
A few enhancements here are there are notable in the newest public release though nothing too drastic from what we already know.
Note that IE9 RC is now feature complete. Whilst we may see the odd minor UI tweak here and there and undoubtedly tonnes of bug fixes before it goes gold, know that this is it folks! And I think Microsoft have done it!

Buying a new computer these days, chances are, it will come pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium Edition.

But what if you aren’t the average user?
Once in a while, one of your applications will lock up and you would have to kill it (in the good sense of the word). Of course this will cause you to lose any unsaved data. At least you will learn to save your work more often, right?
