Shortly after Internet Explorer 9 was released back in March, Microsoft began releasing Platform Previews of Internet Explorer 10. These “previews” don’t include a user interface beyond a menu bar with a few essential options and therefore can’t be used as a standard browser, yet there’s a way to bring the engine from the Internet Explorer 10 developer previews to Internet Explorer 9’s user interface.

After just over a year in development, Microsoft today has released the very final version of Internet Explorer 9.

In his keynote address at MWC 2011 today, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer confirmed Multitasking, deep Twitter integration, SkyDrive, Internet Explorer 9 and Kinect support, all coming to Windows Phone 7 this year.
