All About Microsoft posted a news story that the third technical preview of Internet Explorer 9 is planned for later today

Here’s what I’m more interested in than today’s tech preview, however. According to blogger Francisco Martin (who has had a pretty good track record with his internal information about the Softies’ schedules), this IE 9 tech preview may be the last. Martin says Microsoft could release an actual Beta 1 of IE 9 in August — assuming no push backs in the current schedule.

If August really is when Microsoft will deliver a first beta of IE 9, I’d think that would mean we’ll see more of what the user interface for its next browser will look like. It also means IE 9 really could be released to the Web in 2011, as my sources have said previously is the goal.
