That would be interesting. But it also would prove something MS doesn't want to acknowledge: That the browser is not really part of the OS. If IE 9 is a standalone release, not to be embedded into any specific version of Windows, it would make this reality a little too obvious for MS' tastes, imho.
Another possibility I've thought about is whether the "Windows v.Next" is more like a 7.5... If so, maybe that version is what comes out in the near term, with IE 9 as its browser. That is just pure speculation on my part, I admit. MJ
