And to further complicate things the version of Windows currently in beta is called Windows 7. 2. Internet Explorer, commonly referred to as I E,is an internet browser, used for accessing the internet. There are several versions of I E, such as versions 6, 7 and 8. Version 8, is the latest version. 3. Outlook Express, commonly referred to as O E, is an e-mail client, used for sending and receiving e-mail messages.
