Microsoft Japan has announced that the Japanese version of Internet Explorer 9 will be delayed. The Japanese side of the company did not give a new future date to look forward to, but it did say that the recent earthquake was one of the reasons it would not be able to release IE9 on time. The launch of IE9 is expected to take up significant network bandwidth for the software giant and in Japan those pipes are needed for more important things.
Last week, Microsoft announced that IE9 would be launching on March 14, 2011 at 9:00 AM PST. This translates to March 15, 2011 at 1:00 PM in Japan, but the company decided to change its plans the day of.
IE9 just hit the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) milestone last week. We'll let you know when it hits the Release to Web (RTW) milestone later today.
