IE users may be interested in thinking up names for IE8. The following is a list of names that the IE team considered - taken from the official their blog. Do you have a good name for IE8? 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 ;-) Ie2.079 (we might still use this for the Math Major Edition) IE8 Mockup from Channel9.
lol thats alot of names... cant think of one... hmm IE ate
Hmmm... Crashy Insecure?
IBOD (Internet Browser of Death). ARE (All Risk Explorer).
They sure have alot of spare time to be able to think of so many names...
IE LAB (Lame Ass Browser) xD
ROFL!
Internet Exploder
LOL!
iExplode would be nice :)
IEatComments FTW
Wow, the interface is so ugly, its hard to even look at the screenshot! For a new name - how about "IE Hate"?
IE8 - Short and Sweet =x
Id call it: "IE-requires 6 gb of ram" :]
Hahahaha, Bloaty the Resource Hog would work, but that's already what I call Vista.
IE8: You're not using that ram for anything else, right?
IE 2008
i don't need all that fancy graphic and complicated interface. all i need is a simple, easy to use, low resource usage kind of internet browser. firefox works well for me but it does consume lots of resources sometimes.
Why not just call it I8? As in Internet (E)ight?
Ooooh! Pretty, buuuut, hard on the eye. Sorry, don't have a name for it. =P
I call it IE N.M.W.V.S.L.T.F.F.LOLZ = Internet Explorer No Matter What Version Still Loses To Fire Fox Lolz.
Why not just IE8? Really?
IE:WC (Internet Explorer: Who Cares?)
"Internet Explorer CP" (Creeping Featurism).
FireFox Downloading Tool 8
The best one :D
Firefox > IE
I think they should just shorten the name to MS Explorer. It would be much more symbolic... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7108835.stm
LOL XD! You can say that again. Anyway, the new browser doesn't look too bad, but still I'm betraying Safari or Firefox for MS Explorer lol.
IE Useless? Or IE GFI? (Get Firefox Instead)
IE (NA Edition) as in Not Again!!
IE Firefox, to capitalise on the Firefox name. Imagine how confusing it will be
INT3|2N3T 3xPL0R3R 8 .... --- kinda half Leet speak lol -_-
I would like it to be called "File not Found". And then you have to download a real browser.
IE8 ALL OF YOUR DAMNED MEMORY!!!! Firefox all the way...........
Well, IE can be pronounced "Aieeeee"... So, It would be Insanity Ensues, 8th Edition.
404 Explorer :0 I loled hard at the Internet Exploder. ^^
IE8: END OF IE!
lolz Bill Gates was not aware of the IE dev team's actions and it was kept secret even from the head honcho himself
IE8: all-your-memory-are-belong-to-us edition.
I often hear a co-worker of mine shouting "Infernet f***ing explorer!" (and writing it in the commit message) whenever he has to fix javascript stuff in IE :)
IE = Inexplicable Errors in that case?
Exactly :)
y they making IE8 when IE7 is in such a messy state -.-" i still prefer apple if i get to choose but sadly when i buy my pc... i only got window to choose from
you know safari is avalible for windows users, but on the whole "IE8" thing just have it called "internet vista" the internet all in one evil vista (wishes thy was a apple OSX user)
How about "IE: The Virus Maker"? Could be the name of an anime...
LOL~! So many interesting names! I think the best would be "ぜったい IE". Because, after all, IE=いえ=NO. @Nathan, Sounds interesting, if it really were the name of an anime title.
