Jonathan Snook is having a good evening at Mix’n'mash Conferences 2007. His simple question spurs out hilarious response from bill gates. Read all the transcript at snook.ca.

This news got digg 2 days ago. The annoucement doesn’t confirm anything other than Comparing Products Names and Guessing games.

I’m pretty much dissapointed by Dean Hachamovitch announcement. all its says is bunch of names that wont matter much consider as crap.

Dean Hachamovitch Announcement

Below is the lists of the possible name by dean’s.

Excerpt from IEblog ~ Dean Hachamovitch : Just as he was the first to talk about IE7, Bill Gates kept the tradition alive and discussed IE8 at the Mix ‘n Mash event here on campus yesterday. Bill was talking to some bloggers about IE.Next and called it IE8, the same way we do here in the IE team hallway.

So, yes, the version after IE7 is IE8. We looked at a lot of options for the product name. Among the names we considered and ruled out:

• 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.
• Ie^2.079 (Math Major Edition)

He was making a bad jokes.

The response by commenter’s on IE blog is much interesting ( & depressing ). Just hope IE8 wont introduce new property language (ie: css-expression, silverlight , cardspace … ) and bundle with legacy bugs .
