Welcome to PPV

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has finally named the successor of Internet Explorer 7. The news was revealed on IE Blog over at MSDN.

The new name is surprise, surprise - Internet Explorer 8! lol

But before the IE Team decided to go with IE8, here's the list of possible name they looked for the product as listed on the blog:

• 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 ;-)
  
• Ie^2.079 (we might still use this for the Math Major Edition)
  

I think it's better if the IE Team before deciding for the final name should have made the list available to the public. Then let the public decide through voting which is the best name. IE 1000 sound pretty cool to me. What's yours?
