For the last few years, Microsoft has tried to separate the modern version of Internet Explorer from its legacy: a relatively slow, insecure browser saddled with proprietary features. Now Mark Hachman reports at PC World that as recently as a few weeks ago, members of the Internet Explorer development team debated renaming the browser, presumably in an effort to eliminate any distaste from the software's earliest days. According to one member of the Explorer Develop Group during an AMA on Reddit: "It's been suggested internally; I remember a particularly long email thread where numerous people were passionately debating it. Plenty of ideas get kicked around about how we can separate ourselves from negative perceptions that no longer reflect our product today," wrote Jonathon Sampson. "The discussion I recall seeing was a very recent one (just a few weeks ago). Who knows what the future holds :)"

    When it comes to a browser, if it's not open source, I won't even consider using it--even if it's technically superior in features and performance. I'd rather use the slower Firefox browser because I know Mozilla can't intentionally hide anything malicious in there. I wish Chrome was open source and divorced from Google but we'll never get that.

    IE is pretty fast too, modern versions on modern hardware. But the lack of add-ons is a dealbreaker, and would be even if it was open source. There's no decent ad-blocker, for one. You need competent developers for an add-on community to form, and competent developers will never use a Microsoft browser.

      It seems you've never heard of the Underhanded C Contest. [xcott.com] Its a contest demonstrating how easy it is to intentionally hide malicious stuff in innocent-looking code, and the best part is that the executions typically come with plausible deniability - "Oh, I missed an equals sign there? Silly me, I must have been tired."

          Previous winners of the Underhanded C contest have been far, far sneakier than that. It certainly doesn't stop at a single trick. Some of the contest entries have been so subtle that it takes several minutes just to see that there is a problem, even in a two line sample, having been told in advance that something is awry.

              It's difficult to say.

              The examples from the underhanded C contest were the work of individuals given a few months and a strictly defined single task to work on. They came up with backdoors that were well hidden, but not perfectly immune to discovery, and most of them would have been found if they were in active use. The winning entries tend to be ones where the author could say "Oh, whoops. Honest mistake." if they were blamed.

              I don't think you can take that experience and directly scale it up to the level of the linux kernel. More places to hide, but more people looking. Far more talent going into both backdooring and securing, at genius level on both sides. Very high stakes. If even a single flaw is found, an NSA contributor can't fall back on claiming to be a hobbyist making a n00b error.

              Heartbleed stands out as a better example for comparison. It might have been a genuine error. It might have just been plausibly deniable. We can't know.

    Actually, "Internet Explorer" is just about the perfect name. FOSS developers fail so miserably at naming, and should take a lesson from this.

    If I was a clueless user and wanted to browse the INTERNET, what would I first think to use? "Mozilla," "Firefox," "Opera," or something else that has "Internet" right in the name?

    "Photoshop" versus "GIMP" is just one more example. "Winamp" isn't perfect, but pretty good, compared with "XMMS" or "Audacious", and "iTunes" and "Windows Media Center" both hit it out of the park.

    Forget the clueless users, even, and look at how you find software... How many times have you discovered that there was some application for task-X that you didn't know about, despite it being in the yum/dpkg list of your system?

    When looking for an IRC client, I'm hardly going to expect "BitchX" is what I want. When looking for a new file manager, "Nautilus", "Konq" and "Dolphin" doesn't mean a damn thing to me... etc.

    Sure, you could go for multi-million dollar ad campaigns to get your product's name out there (Firefox), or you could just damn-well name it properly in the first place, so someone looking for it, will find it...

    A name should be descriptive, not obscure. Copyright-ability is not of any particular value.

            That helps, but it doesn't show-up that way in a yum or dpkg/apt search, or any other way you'd look for and access it.

      Internet AIDS

      The very reason I don't fuck Microsoft. Even with a condom... (you don't know when the bitch will start to bite you).

    The important thing is to change the user agent!

    wait? they already have done that? I guess MSIE was a bit too tainted?
    instead it says that mozilla likes geckos now....

    It won't help if those "perceptions" are true, though. So, why bother? Just give up.

    The one they will pick is:

    Metro Browser.

    You know they will. It's inevitable.

      They can't use Metro, they already lost a court case over that. Instead it'll be Modern Interface Browser, or M.I.B., like the people that show up at at your door when you use it to look up house hold chemicals and fertilizer.

    This is just one more example of what happens when you fire all the "naysayers".
    MSFT's corporate culture has been reduced to, well, a corporate culture. Over the years the aggressive competition policy has been turned inwards and the people who didn't play-ball got silenced and ejected.
    Now after meticulous and careful elimination, there's no opposition left when ideas like "tiles", "we're a service company not a product company" and "let re-brand it" come to surface.

    Changing the name means nothing. Fire some of these PR twits and hire a better developer or two.

    And while you're at it, axe the UX guys.

    Call the new browser "Triple It".
    Because that's what I do with the hours on every quote I issue that requires making the website work with more than one version of IE.
