I had mentioned a while back that we planned to call the version of IE7 in
Windows Vista “Internet Explorer 7+”. Well, the feedback we got on the blog
was overwhelming – many of you didn’t like it. So, as we’ve said on our
website, we heard you. I’m pleased to announce that we’re switching the name
back to “Internet Explorer 7”. No plus. No dot x. Just “Internet Explorer
7”.
Specifically, here are the official full names:
For Windows XP: “Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP”
For Windows Vista: “Windows Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista”

Now if they could just make it compatible with CSS 2.0, that'd be great.
Otherwise we're gonna find that many web sites don't render correctly (the Acid
test indicates it's only about 53% compatible with CSS 2, as opposed to Firefox
at 93%).

When I saw those figures, including that Opera was 99%, I searched to find what
exactly those numbers mean. The results are interesting and not exactly as cut
and dried as the article made it sound (and I think that was the purpose).
