Gates: Next IE to be IE8
Bill Gates confirmed that Microsoft will call its next browser Internet Explorer 8, though Microsoft isn't sharing much else, such as the obvious questions: When will it arrive and what features will it have?
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."
But, seriously, folks don't care about the name. They care about features and timing. Hachamovitch pleads for more time.
"You will hear a lot more from us soon on this blog and in other places," he said. "In the meantime, please don't mistake silence for inaction."
