IE11 in Windows Blue

Next in development is Windows Blue MP (Milestone Preview Version).

There is no M2 planned, like recent news said. MP will replace M2.

Also IE 10 for Windows 7 is scheduled for Release in the next few days.

Thx to Win8China.com

To think of it as a service pack would be wrong it seems. It sounds way more like a Windows 8.1 with new features and new versions of the apps. Seeing info about IE11 in it and not just something like 10.5 says a lot.
