Microsoft's naming conventions have always been a little controversial due to the sheer size of some of the titles such as "Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition". Doesn't exactly roll of the tongue does it? Dean Hachamovitch, the General Manager of the IE team, has been poking fun at themselves over this with the naming of their latest web browser offering. So far we've heard very little about what fanboy's are referring to as IE.Next, but yesterday at the Mix 'n' Mash event Bill Gates confirmed that the new version will be called IE8. Hmm, no surprise really - I couldn't imagine them going for "IE Desktop Online Web Browser Live Professional Ultimate Edition for the Internet". So that's it, it's official - Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) is on it's way and the IEBlog team will be likely to post more on it's features soon (I hope).
