A lot of people were left wondering that as well and I’m sure it was some sort of miscommunication. Maybe Microsoft gave them a time to post it but didn’t state a time zone or something?

The “plus” sign ISN’T a part if HTML. It is probably a bug of WordPress.

That is very weird but I just went and did a little research and I guess that is something intentional that Wordpress does. It is assuming that the plus sign is part of HTML code so it try to converts it. If I want the plus sign to appear I am supposed to use the HTML character code for it.

Ryan,
Look into your previous post:

I had mentioned a while back that we planned to call the version of IE7 in Windows Vista “Internet Explorer 7 “.

Here should be the “plus” symbol, but it was replaced with “space” symbol.

No, the official Internet Explorer blog (which appears to be down right now) said:

I had mentioned a while back that we planned to call the version of IE7 in Windows Vista â€œInternet Explorer 7 +â€. Well, the feedback we got on the blog was overwhelming â€“ many of you didnâ€™t like it. So, as weâ€™ve said on our website, we heard you. Iâ€™m pleased to announce that weâ€™re switching the name back to â€œInternet Explorer 7â€. No plus. No dot x. Just â€œInternet Explorer 7â€.

I had to pull up the page through the Google Cache in order to get that quote.

Anyhow, Microsoft decided awhile back to not distribute "IE7 " with Vista so even though it may be a little different it is not called IE7 anymore.

Was this because of anti-trust violation pressures from the EU?
