What's with the past tense? (Score 1)

> At its Mix '06 conference in Las Vegas, reports Microsoft Watch, company execs insisted that there's a bright future for IE. They not only distributed a 'layout-complete' build of IE 7.0, but offered hints about what the new version of the browser geeks love to disdain (yes, it will include ActiveX) will include. Also shown: tools to test IE compatibility...

um... is it worth pointing out that this conference that Microsoft Watch and Slashdot are reporting about in the past tense hasn't actually happened yet? Mix '06 doesn't start until Monday.
