It seems like the IE team is getting into another hype of blog posting at the year end. It is definitely a good thing for all of us who are anticipating on any updates from them.
This time, Dean Hachamovitch, the General Manager released some hopes to the much waited Internet Explorer 8. There has been way too many rumors and guesses. I would consider his post as a confirmation of IE8 being under development and ready to be revealed not far from now.
Of course, some people care about other aspects of IE8 much more than they care about the name. As I’ve walked different people through the plan, I’ve gotten “Does it have feature X?” “When is the beta?” “When does it release” and even the more thoughtful “What are you trying to accomplish with this release?”
You will hear a lot more from us soon on this blog and in other places. In the meantime, please don’t mistake silence for inaction.
In his post, he also released some naming candidates for the new internet explorer (and of course with a sense of geeky humor)
IE 7+1
IE VIII
IE 1000 (think binary)
IE Eight!
iIE
IE for Web 2.0 (Service Pack 2)
IE Desktop Online Web Browser Live Professional Ultimate Edition for the Internet (the marketing team really pushed for this one
Ie2.079 (we might still use this for the Math Major Edition)
