Leaked IE9 (Build 9.0.8027.6000) Is A Release Candidate Branch Build

Last evening, we reported about the leak of Internet Explorer 9 build 9.0.8027.6000. In that post, we also mentioned that Microsoft has no plans to push a Beta 2 for IE9. It seems the leaked build is a Release Candidate branch build.

Users who have installed the leaked build can clearly notice the entry of Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate entry under installed updates (View installed updates) section. As you can see in the below snapshot, the entry clearly shows that it’s a Release Candidate branch build of IE9.

On the other side, about section of IE 9 build 9.0.8027.6000 displays that it’s still a beta build. Let’s wait for a few days to see the official RC build.

We strongly recommend not to install the leaked build as the official Release Candidate build is just around the corner.
