Apparently, Internet Explorer is on its way out. JCXP.net is saying that Internet Explorer 8 will be the last traditional version of Microsoft's web browser, and that Microsoft's next web browser will be based on a promising Microsoft Research project dubbed "Gazelle".

The marketing hype is all about Windows7 and it's impending release. After an average of two to five years between major releases, that seems pretty darn short. The fact that they pretty much all but dropped premoting Vista and even the new MS figure head said "uh.. you can skip Vista, we're going to have Windows7 out for you really soon"...?
I will admit that the windows7 beta is far ahead of where Vista betas and pre sp production versions where. Hopefully the don't bloat up the userland around the kernel and it retains it's current snappy responsiveness. That plus IE9 being a truly third party application to the OS could mean some very nice benefits to the end user.

Don't be ridiculous. Vista came out end of 06, Win7 will be out end of 09.
In contrast, Win2k came out in 2k and WinXp in 2001.
