Microsoft: IE 7 is AJAX-ready
eWeek | at | by Mike
Although Microsoft's Internet Explorer team has just shipped Version 7 of the browser, it is already working on IE 8 or should that be "IE Next', said a platform architect on the team.
At the AJAX Experience conference here, Chris Wilson, platform architect for the Internet Explorer platform at Microsoft, said, "The team is hard at work on IE 8," then with a smile added, "I think I am supposed to call it 'IE Next.'"
In any event, Wilson gave two talks at the event, saying key themes for the next version of IE will include "user security and privacy, improving the Web application platform, providing the best Web user experience, and compatibility will continue to be a tenet."
