I've always had this question in mind too. The IE name has been so widely denigrated that even if they make it the best browser in the market, I think its reputation will affect the distribution and adoption of the browser very adversely.

Why did you decide to stick with the same name then?

Quick! Someone edit the wiki and add this as the source.

What's the reason for IE being so bad in the past? Was it deliberately so that backwards compaitbility was maintained or was it something else?

I like the newer versions - they're a huge improvement over the previous ones and are finally catching up with the status quo.

Thanks a lot for doing this AMA!

Do your children know about this? If yes, what were their reactions/thoughts?
