First IE8 Release Candidate Coming Monday

According to anonymous sources, Microsoft will release Internet Explorer 8 RC1 on Monday. Internet Explorer users that haven’t had a chance to give IE8 a try yet will certainly want to download RC1 when it is available.

Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) has been in its second beta release since August, and a post on Microsoft's IE8 blog on Wednesday said the company was "about to release" IE8 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) for Windows XP and Vista. Sources familiar with the company's plans said the release will be Monday.
