March 19, 2009 Microsoft Corp. will release Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) at 9 a.m. Pacific time today, beating its biggest rival, Mozilla Corp., in the race toward final code.

The new browser (see Computerworld’s review) will be available for manual download from the company’s Web site; the hour selected to coincide with a keynote address at MIX09, the Microsoft-sponsored Web developer conference where IE8 will be introduced, said James Pratt, a senior product manager on the IE development team.

“We’ll be launching IE8 [release to manufacturing] in 25 languages for Windows Vista, XP, Server 2003 and Server 2008,” said Pratt.
