Title: Stripped-down IE9 interface leaks in Russia
Post by: Clive on August 26, 2010, 18:37

Internet Explorer 9 is getting a stripped down interface, if a screenshot leaked online is to be believed.

Users will be able to go straight from their Windows task bar to "recognized" or "protected" sites without having to fired up IE, and there will be something called "tear-off tabs" that build on Aero Snap in Windows to view two pages side by side – a feature already found in Firefox and Safari.

I had to use IE8 the other day, to get into a poorly designed website.  I'm still recovering.

This was a site which had clearly not been tested on anything other than IE.  It's not a public website, but a company portal, however, the company expects their staff to use the site from home, but obviously assumes everyone uses IE.
