IE's Death Imminent

[Joe]

It's still on the edge of being a rumor (though more are starting to
confirm it), but it seems like IE8 is going to be the last IE ever. M$
is looking to replace IE with Gazelle, a new browser they are writing
from the ground up. Some are reporting that it will use Webkit for
rendering, but that hasn't been confirmed (and I personally don't think
it's too likely).

It all sounds very nice, but they also did the whole "ground up" rewrite
with vista, and we all know how well THAT turned out. In any event,
while I have my doubts about it being much of an improvement in the end,
I look forward to a world without IE!!
