Microsoft has began sending out invitations for a special event to selected members of the press, VIPs and developers. Microsoft says the event will serve as a chance to “Celebrate the Beauty of the Web” and perhaps more importantly, as a launch pad for Internet Explorter 9 Beta.
Microsoft’s James Pratt wrote about the invitation in a blog post and detailed that IE9 has been well received so far, with 2.5 millions downloads of the platform previews since MIX, in March of this year.
Microsoft has launched four developer previews since MIX, but has yet to commit to a date for the full release.
