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.

I saw this on Digg yesterday.... why is this news? Did people think that IE7 was going to be the last Internet Explorer release ever?

It took five years between IE 6 and IE 7. So, the news is that IE 8 might be a little sooner than it could have been without all the competition.

The only reason they posted this, was they got slammed for posting a whoop-dee-doo about IE7's 1 year birthday. The problem is that they misunderstood the reason for being slammed as being inactive. They were slammed because of their lack of transparency. They release IE7 claiming that there would be transparency about IE8, but as yet, there has been none. Transparency != "silence", yet this post says "do not mistake silence for inaction." blech.
