Actually it came out in March 2009. So it's two years between major browser releases. In that 22 months they've dropped 7 tech previews and beta. So at about a clip of every 3 months they've released a new build.

But I do agree that it's too slow. They really do need a Chrome like schedule.

Thanks for the release date correction. I even did my research and checked Wikipedia first! Turns out I read the wrong date. Oh well, thanks. :)
