微软放弃Internet Explorer？ 没有机会！

The Internet rumor mill is working overtime today. Several sites are claiming that Microsoft is on the verge of giving up on Internet Explorer or, at the very least, they will replace the Trident HTML rendering engine. I’m not certain where these rumors started, but several reference a blog article at InfoWorld.

互联网谣言工厂今天加班。 几个站点声称Microsoft即将放弃Internet Explorer，或者至少将替换Trident HTML渲染引擎。 我不确定这些谣言从何而来，但是有些人引用了InfoWorld上的博客文章 。

Rumor 1: Microsoft will drop Internet Explorer There is absolutely no evidence Microsoft is considering this. Why would they? As a product, IE is as ubiquitous as Windows.

谣言1：微软将放弃Internet Explorer绝对没有证据表明微软正在考虑这一点。 他们为什么会呢？ 作为产品，IE和Windows一样普遍。

Browsers may not raise revenue directly, but the manufacturers have immense influence over Internet users. Mozilla revenue hit $75 million in 2007 primarily because Google was used as the default Firefox homepage.

浏览器可能不会直接增加收入，但是制造商对互联网用户具有巨大的影响力。 Mozilla的收入在2007年达到了7500万美元，这主要是因为Google被用作默认的Firefox主页。

Microsoft has far more to gain: they have a wide range of products to sell, thousands of employees to pay, and millions of shareholders to satisfy. Why would they abandon IE when the majority of people still use it as their gateway to the Web? Since every OS needs a browser, what would they replace it with?

微软有更多的收获：他们有各种各样的产品可以出售，数千名员工可以支付，数百万股东可以满足。 当大多数人仍将IE作为访问Web的网关时，为什么他们会放弃IE？ 由于每个操作系统都需要浏览器，因此将其替换为什么？

Rumor 2: Internet Explorer will adopt WebKit This appears to stem from a quote made by Steve Balmer at a developer conference in Sydney during 2008. A student asked:

谣言2：Internet Explorer将采用WebKit这似乎源于Steve Balmer在2008年悉尼开发者大会上的一句话。一位学生问：

Why is IE still relevant and why is it worth spending money on rendering engines when there are open source ones available that can respond to changes in Web standards faster?

为什么IE仍然具有相关性，为什么在有可用的开源引擎可以更快地响应Web标准更改的情况下，值得花钱在渲染引擎上？

The Microsoft’s CEO responded that the question was “cheeky”, but went on to say:

微软首席执行官回答说，这个问题很“时髦”，但接着说：

Open source is interesting. Apple has embraced Webkit and we may look at that, but we will continue to build extensions for IE 8.

开源很有趣。 苹果已经接受了Webkit，我们可能会考虑这一点，但是我们将继续为IE 8构建扩展。

Steve Balmer is a successful business man, but he does not directly control Microsoft’s development teams or technical decisions. He could have stated that open source browsers were evil and he intended to wipe them off the face of the planet – but how well would that have gone down?

史蒂夫·巴尔默(Steve Balmer)是一位成功的商人，但他没有直接控制Microsoft的开发团队或技术决策。 他本来可以说开源浏览器是邪恶的，他打算将其从地球的表面抹掉-但是这种情况会下降多少呢？

Microsoft are actively developing Trident and there is no evidence they intend to drop it.

微软正在积极开发Trident，没有证据表明他们打算放弃它。

Rumor 3: Internet Explorer will use “Gazelle” Gazelle is an experimental prototype created by Microsoft. It uses OS-like resource management techniques that, in theory, could make browsers more robust, reliable and secure.

谣言3：Internet Explorer将使用“瞪羚” 瞪羚是由Microsoft创建的实验性原型。 它使用类似于OS的资源管理技术，从理论上讲，可以使浏览器更强大，更可靠，更安全。

It is possible Microsoft will adopt Gazelle or some of its technology in IE. Whether than will occur in IE9 is another matter.

微软可能会在IE中采用Gazelle或其某些技术。 IE9是否会发生是另一回事。

Do not believe the hype: Internet Explorer will be around for many years … it is taking long enough to get rid of IE6!

不要相信炒作：Internet Explorer将会存在很多年…… 要摆脱IE6的时间太长了 ！
