    I mod down so you can mod up. Your welcome.

    I keep waiting for them to change the name to something that makes some reference to Mozilla or Gecko, or to browsing. "Lesszilla" seems appropriate. Or how about Salamander? That's a creature of fire AND a lizard, and the plus side is that there's already a browser called that, giving yet another reason to change names again.

    Since they already stepped on toes of OSS developers, why not step on other toes, too?

    Call it "Web Explorer" or Explorer for short, or just "Better than Internet Explorer."

    Or...maybe they could just absorb the Mozilla name?
