WinInfo: Why IE 7 was rebranded as Windows IE 7
WinInfo | at | by Mike
On its team blog last night, the Internet Explorer (IE) team at Microsoft revealed the final branding for both the standalone version of IE 7 and the version that will be included in Windows Vista. The team also shared the final logo for the standalone IE 7 version. What you won't read anywhere else, however, is why Microsoft is changing the branding for such an established product.
Logos are fun for the kids, but Microsoft doesn't arbitrarily change such things. The important news around this announcement is that company also subtly revealed that IE 7 would henceforth be referred to as Windows Internet Explorer 7.
