Bill Gates made a shocking announcement during the Microsoft's Mix 'n Mash event in Redmond: the next version of Internet Explorer will be known as... IE8. Apparently, the name is the result of a strong debate inside the company.
The rest of the world may not care about the name of the future IE version (and, given the browser's descending market share, more and more people don't care about the product altogether), it seems that the Microsoft team thought about several alternatives.

Several of them are mentioned in a recent blog posting over at the official Internet Explorer blog. According to Microsoft's Dean Hachamovitch, these are some of the alternatives:

 

- 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)

 

On the other hand, everyone was interested on what new features would be added to the new version. Unfortunately, this chapter was still kept in the X-Files cabinet in Redmond and no information has been made available. Microsoft reps promised that more details on the new browser will be made available next March during the MIX conference.

 

In the mean time, Hachamovitch adds, “please don’t mistake silence for inaction.”

IE8 beta to debut after Windows Vista SP1

Internet Explorer 8 will be released as a beta test version later this year, according to a Microsoft source. Windows XP is apparently included in the plans for the new web browser.

Few details are known about the forthcoming version 8 of Internet Explorer . But sources are now saying it will be released for testing after Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is made available. The release date of the latter has been put back to later this year, TheHotfix reports. According to the Microsoft source, two versions of IE8 will be released, one for Windows Vista and one for Windows XP SP2 or SP3. The version for Windows Vista will include extra security functions that cannot be included in the Windows XP version due to technical differences
