Launch, as in end of product, it's "finished", it's in the wild, you're on your own we will now work on IE 10?
Or launch like the rest of the software development world now operates and push out updates on a regular basis, with new features and better standards support, leading to something that actually has a chance of competing with the browsers the rest of us love to use?
'Cause I think it was around 2000 that people started realizing that monolithic development and release cycles lead to failed products. Software needs to be, and can be, updated constantly, or it falls behind. If this launch is like all other IE launches, it will be a day we will all look back on with disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see Microsoft actually become a modern development house, but I have huge doubts that it could ever happen.
