After much silence, Microsoft announced the other day the new name of their upcoming browser.

Yup! Looks like "Microsoft Internet Explorer 8" or "IE8" (How original!)

There had been speculation that the naming convention for the browser was going to change. One other name that was floating around was IE1000 (think binary)

Let just hope it features Open Compliance, and not just Microsoft Compliance. Although IE7 was a good step in the right direction, there are still many compliance issues with that browser. If you are a web developer, then you'll know what I'm talking about.

Here's hoping they'll get it right this time...
