Default Next Internet Explorer To Be IE8
From our front-page news:
It's official: The next version of Internet Explorer will be called Internet Explorer 8. To all out there who knew this years ago, pat yourselves on the back. Though, since the browser has followed the same naming scheme for quite a while, it's best to not gloat too much. At least they are not calling it Internet Live Explorer Ultimate, I suppose.

New features have not been mentioned for obvious reasons, but should include faster browsing, better protection, better functionality and everything else we are usually promised and never delivered.


The confirmation came during his speech at the "Mix and Mash" conference taking place this week in Redmond, Wash. In a posting on the IE blog, Microsoft general manager Dean Hachamovitch jokes about some of the names Microsoft ruled out, such as "IE 7+1" and "IEVIII."
