message: Does anyone have a source for the version list that was added here by User:81.86.99.54?  I can't remember Microsoft using roman numerals for version numbers on any other software. AlistairMcMillan 14:32, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  You are right that Microsoft has never used roman numerals officially, but when Trident is mentioned by members of the IE team in discussion groups the employees /may/ refer to it as "Trident IV" or "Trident 4", however they generally just refer to it as just plain ol' "Trident". To quote Dave Massy, from the IE dev team:
-----------------------------------
Actually thinking about it I guess we are on "Trident IV"
IE4 - Trident I
IE5.0 - Trident II
IE5.5 - Trident III - There were more enhancements in IE5.5 than many people realised. Although we only called it a .5 release, for Trident it had more enhancements than some other releases.
IE6 - Trident IV
So now we are working on "Trident V" but generally we refer to it just as Trident and the version of IE that it shipped with rather than the version of Trident.
Thanks

See his post about it here: http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=37800#37800
Since that post doesn't actually support the claim that anyone has _ever been using_ the terms "Trident IV", "Trident V" and so on, but rather Dave Massey is saying that the nomenclature is a reasonable one, the roman numeral versions have not been supported by evidence of use from "reliable sources". In line with Wikipedia's policies about information needing to be verifiable I am deleting these version numbers, which in any case do not add anything to the rest of the article.83.105.29.229 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment was added at 10:42, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I see that Mac is quoted as being supported by Trident.  That is rubbish - the layout engine was called Tasman for IE/Mac.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.47.189.167 (talk) 16:47, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

message: RealNetworks is listed as an application that utilizes Trident, however RealNetworks is a company with a variety of different published software applications, so this is likely incorrect.  It is possible some versions of RealPlayer use the engine, but I cannot find documentation to support this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.11.70.194 (talk) 20:35, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
