One year after the release of Internet Explorer 7 the first information about IE8 has been published: on the IE weblog it was announced that it will be called IE8 (not a surprise, really). It’s still unknown which features will be included, but it’s clear that Microsoft is listening carefully to the needs of web developers. They are also feeling the heat from Opera, which has sued Microsoft over proprietary features in IE. However, based on our own web statistics and those of W3Schools, it seems that IE6 is still more popular than IE7, so unfortunately it will take a while before we can optimize applications for IE7, let alone IE8.
