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.

SWEET! Let's hope some little software company that makes pop-up blocker software doesn't sue them...

Nothing for Win2k people? :( Until then, I guess Opera is still my pick for the browser.

So. . . it takes them this looong to implement pop up blocking. . . how much longer for them to realize that tabbed browsing is where its at with two turn tables and a microphone?
