Whats next for Internet Explorer? Microsoft opens up (a little)
Published May 4th, 2007 in Browser Security, Internet Explorer 8
Microsoft still isn’t talking specifics in terms of what it plans to deliver as part of the next version of Internet Explorer, IE 8.0. But at 
the Mix ‘07 conference in Las Vegas, Chris Wilson, platform architect of Internet Explorer, did share some general directions the team is taking with its next release. In his "IE Past Present and Future" talk on May 1, Wilson told the standing-room-only audience that he wasn’t going to show an IE 8.0 feature list, as he "wasn’t allowed to."
However, Wilson did tell attendees that Microsoft is planning to require Web site authors to "opt-in" to standards mode when developing IE 8.0 sites.
"Five years ago, no one in the top 200 Web sites was using standards," Wilson said. "Today it is half of the top 200 Web pages." » What’s next for Internet Explorer? Microsoft opens up (a little) | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com
