IE9 Release Postponed in Japan

Key comment

Unless you live under a rock, you undoubtedly know that Japan is currently struggling to recover from a 8.9 magnitude earthquake that took place last week, followed by a devastating tsunami.

Microsoft Japan explains that it needs to protect the integrity of the communications infrastructure, and that it postponed the IE9 release to web in Japan in order to avoid network bandwidth overload.

In my opinion, it's still avoidable.  You can use other (arguably better) browsers.

Agreed Scythe. I run with FireFox.

I think Micro$oft's support for XP runs out in 2014.

Resistance is futile.  ;D
Besides, Windows 7 is better than any of the previous versions. (By far!)
