Last year Microsoft released Internet Explorer 7, next year (or the year after) the company will launch World wide web Explorer 8. Seriously, how do those creative folks in Redmond keep coming up with these clever names?
We can’t tell you what IE8 will look like, or what improvements it will have over IE7. All we know is that it’s got a name. Apparently the IE developer team has been referring to the next version of Internet Explorer as IE8 for a while, and when Bill Gates recently dropped that name, it kind of sealed the fate.
According to the Internet Explorer blog, some other possible names included IE VIII, IE1000 (eight in binary), IE Desktop On the web Web Browser Live Professional Ultimate Edition for the World wide web. Honestly, we were a bit surprised they didn’t go with the last one, but then we realized that it might have been a joke.
