Images of Internet Explorer 9's new interface leaked


Recommended Posts

I dunno how metro UI would actually work for a browser on the desktop. It's really ment for specific devices and experiences. That said, i'm pretty interested in what the real IE9 UI might be.

I quite like that.. I would probably use it on windows if they made the UI look that nice and I'm not a fan of IE!

They should have transition effects too... you go to another web page and it slides in from the side of the browser window over the top of the previous web page.:wub:

You know, that reminds me of the april fools joke last year that stated Microsoft had dropped trident and decided to go with Webkit. The interesting part - the number of fan boys who wished it were true; that was until they continued reading the article lol

It would have been great if the UI actually looked like that with tabs on top. Instead we're going to get that ****ty IE7+ UI again.

How do you even know? If all they were going to do was just use a tweaked IE7/8 UI like we have now then why even hide it from us at all? I think the fact we're only seeing a basic box at this point and no UI is because they're going to redo it all over.

I like IE8 with the fav bar btw. I have all my RSS feeds placed up there so I can quickly see a list of new things without having to open a new tab/window unless I want to. No other browser handles feeds this way, and I like it alot.

That's actually exactly what I'm going to do :p

My version doesn't look very good, nor does it look like the screenshots exactly. But it works, including all the buttons, and it was written in real code using WPF. Also didn't take very long. But I'm not very sure where I would put tabs.

well , if there were a browser with this UI around , i will use it immediately , even if it was slow , crappy and buggy ! i'll use it as my default browser .

Might be an April Fools, and if it is they certainly got me. Looks awesome, and even if it's fake hopefully someone will take the time to make a mock up of that picture in Mozilla Firefox. I know I'd download it.

Or a nice Chrome theme.

Any updates on this?

Tabs on top.

Yep! I'm making it more pretty, and adding a few more features that you would expect from a modern web browser. Also, I'm taking a few ideas from the WP7 version of IE where the original screenshots (IE9) were lacking. Maybe tomorrow I'll make available an installer so that you can try it out.

Tabs on top.

But underneath the title bar, right? Or on top? My idea was hidden, until you open something in another tab. Also check out the way WP7 implements tabs (although not ideal for a desktop application).

Tabs on top.

No. I hate them on top.

This. Make it appear when you open a new tab and underneath. I hate that new chrome trend where it is on top. :x

If this is an April's Fools joke, it's a good one, but I for one like this minimalist approach to interface (well, I like what it *could* look like with some much needed tweaking). My opinion (don't hold it against me) is that this also s**** all over Aero Glass, which takes a lot of space and does pretty much nothing. Then again, this would just break the UI consistency all over again, and it's pretty much already broken now.

Yes it does, since Microsoft has to drop all XP support someday....

Just another way to get people to finally drop XP. No IE9, no Windows Live Wave 4 apps either. And I think no Office 2010? I could be wrong on that las tone though.

    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.

    • They have lots of info on me, I have a facebook account and have done so for years, it was the thing to have then. My phone number is not on it. I don't have the Facebook app on my phone these days, just the messenger part, and only for a couple of people to contact me, most will text me via SMS or phone. I agree, Meta, like others, even without an account will know something about me. Just have to try and keep some things private Also, never saw the need for Whatsapp, people used to ask for me to join it, but as I said to them, I have SMS and a phone, use that, or email
