That's a genuine Internet Explorer development teamIE Dev ChatAnnouncement was also made on Twitter account of.

◆ 01: Have you ever thought about changing the name of Internet Explorer?

I thought a little about Ultron (the name of a superhero appearing in an American comic), but say that the lawyer is useless.

◆ 2: It is always mysterious, but IE is told badly even if it is the best browser on the market. This bad reputation has an adverse effect on the distribution of IE.

It is often said. Actually, I have received as an intimidation email what the anonymous people are doing hot about it. Since we talked a lot about "How will you not see a negative view?" Now, rumors will not affect products.

◆ 3: When I talked, did not it "change the name of IE"?

It has been a few weeks ago that we have talked about recently, but no one knows what will happen in the future.

◆ 4: Why should I switch from Firefox to IE? Please try selling it to me.

If you are used to changing browsers it is not difficult to sell IE. Although many developers use IE, it takes time to truly use IE, such as introducing various functions and improving the environment. But in real use IE, many people will change the view of the browser.

The best way to decide the browser that suits yourself is to actually try using various browsers. We are satisfied with the browser I made and I recommend that you try using the latest version of IE, though. I'm sure you will be surprised.

◆ 5: As a developer, I ceased to use IE many years ago because the idea of ​​"introducing functions" does not match. We do not want to "introduce the function" etc, I want IE to be the web standard.

That is exactly what we are doing actively now. Internet Explorer, which is being released one after another, is adopting the web standard.

We are actively working with Google, Apple and Mozilla to advance the web and create new standards. A few months ago when I was talking about the response media on the team, I contacted Google to participate in the discussion.

If you feel the standard of the web, we are trying to support it. I write your email address so if you have something please feel free to contact me (josamp [at] microsoft.com).TwitterBut it's okay.

◆ 6: Do you believe that Internet Explorer's reputation can be changed to me?

I think that I have so.Two too old versions of IEYaActiveXI canceled my support and a lot of things changed. Although discontinuation of support is a pain to many developers including me, it is the first step to reduce fragmentation.

Of course we are also changing. I am participating in numerous web events to gather feedback and in fact I am improving IE.

◆ 7: Does it have a function that is extremely helpful but IE is overlooked?

I like to see the responses when developers push the F12 key and notice the greatness of the developer tools. The development team of the tool has improved and introduced the function with a tremendous effort, so I think that the experience when I experience it is also great.

◆ 8: When Mozilla sends the cake, what is the reason and what do you think the cake tastes like?

It is a delicious cake with vanilla and chocolate marble. When IE 10 was released, it actually came from Seattle.


This is the custom that we started when Firefox 2 was released, but the cakes sent from them are the best that I ever had.
