You won't need to wait for Longhorn in late 2005 to get pop-up ad
blocking in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). Microsoft will release
IE 6.05 as part of Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), which is due in
the first half of 2004. Whether IE 6.05 will include some of the other
new IE features, such as the new download manager, found in the
Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC) 2003 Longhorn build
is unclear. But pop-up ad blocking is definitely among the changes we
can expect, as are other new security features such as more
locked-down Internet security zones.
