Images of Internet Explorer 9's new interface leaked

Why wont it work on XP? Makes no sense.

Why does it make no sense? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Microsoft were not still supporting Windows 95 in the year 2004, were they? The only reason XP is still so widely used is because of ignorant PC users/businesses (and perhaps some ignorant developers).

but Microsoft are supporting XP until 2014 as it was in general use longer. Win95 was replaced after three years, XP took double that 6 years to be replaced, thus the support after will be longer.

Yay! It works! You click on the title bar, and a textbox appears that allows you to type in a URL. Press the enter key, and it navigates to that URL. Also, no tabs yet. Everything else needed to work before tabs. Now, to make something that you can download and try... :)

Known problems: resizing window (other than maximize), no tabs, add favorites button does not function...

Dude, thats awesome. Hoping to see it soon.

After using it, I feel this really is just a bad April Fools joke. Even an alpha wouldn't run this horribly, the UI is nothing like Aero, and the default Homepage is Google!

In all likelihood, this is just a badly written program using the Trident engine.

Acid3 also gets a cool 13/100

Did you even read the thread? It's not supposed to actually be IE9, this is just something that a poster here whipped up because a few people wanted it.

It's not supposed to be the same thing as in the initial post, just inspired by it.

Looks like something that would have been programmed for WinPho7.

And the Acid3 test practically confirms this is using the IE7 engine (at least it looks identical to the Acid3 results using IE7 mode on the Internet Explorer Platform Preview program).

In all likelihood, this is just a badly written program using the Trident engine.

Goodness, that was harsh. Yes, that's pretty much exactly what it was. If you thought it was anything else, that's your own fault.

And yes, this is using the IE7 engine. You can check the the user agent string, for example at whatismyuseragent.com

Failures:

- to read the thread

- to understand the purpose of the download

- to implicitly trust a download from a Neowin user

- to think a 200kb download from a Neowin user could be a full browser

- to do any research, especially regarding IE9's existing preview

I really hope your comment was sarcasm (in which case it was quite good!).

This yes.gif

This is an implementation of the WPF based 'Metro UI' .

You're not likely to see anything similar in the upcoming IE as in the past it hasn't benefited from any overhaul UI wise . Nor should it .

Still , I dig it . Would be a pleasure to use :).

I'm on the user-made IE9 mock up browser right now. I like how the Title Bar is the URL bar too... now if you could get tabs like somewhat on the side or somewhere where they are hidden (except a slight bit) and you hover over them they pop out to let you choose. Would be cool.

oh, get settings + bookmarks to work too xD

Yep, tabs are coming. That's the only thing I really miss when using it. Some settings will be coming, including setting the homepage (maybe you want bing.com :) ), and bookmarks. Also, about the title bar... it's both title bar and URL bar, but it could also be a search box. In my latest version, it will also do a search if you don't type in a URL.

The biggest thing is making it so that it resizes correctly. Since I had to remove the default Windows chrome (as per the original screenshot, no Aero glass border), I have to write the window resizing/moving code myself.

I don't care if nobody ever uses this, because I sure will! :p

It looks like a great little project to me :yes:

Who cares about download numbers if you enjoy doing it, and it's an interesting experiment.

    • Fitbit Charge 6 fitness tracker with Google apps is now at its lowest price with 47% off by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Fitbit Charge 6 fitness tracker at its all-time low price with a 47% discount. The device features an AMOLED touchscreen display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 that should offer improved scratch resistance and durability. The Charge 6 is equipped with a range of sensors including an optical heart rate sensor, a 3-axis accelerometer, built-in GPS with GLONASS support, red and infrared sensors for SpO2 monitoring, a skin temperature sensor, an ambient light sensor, a vibration motor, NFC, and multipurpose electrical sensors compatible with the ECG and EDA Scan apps. Heart rate is recorded every second during exercise tracking and every five seconds during normal daily use. The device requires the Google Health app for setup and synchronisation. Furthermore, Bluetooth provides wireless connectivity for syncing and communication with devices running Apple iOS 16.4 or later and Android 11.0 or later. The tracker stores up to 7 days of minute-by-minute activity data and retains daily activity totals for the previous 30 days. In terms of water resistance, the Fitbit Charge 6 has a 5 ATM rating that should make it suitable for swimming and water activities. The tracker operates in temperatures ranging from 14°F to 113°F and at altitudes of up to 28,000 feet. Moreover, the included Infinity band is made from a flexible silicone material and features a loop-and-peg fastening. The small band fits wrists measuring 5.1 to 6.7 inches, while the large band fits wrists measuring 6.7 to 8.3 inches. Both small and large bands are included in the box. When it comes to battery performance, the Fitbit Charge 6 should deliver up to 7 days of battery life under typical usage conditions. Features such as the Always-On Display, built-in GPS, and SpO2 monitoring increase power consumption and may require more frequent charging. The rechargeable lithium-polymer battery should take approximately two hours to charge from empty to full.

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 changelog: Fixed a bug where Overwrite behaved as Overwrite All during same-drive move operations. AdvancedInstaller fixed the installer’s security vulnerability: EXE Bootstrapper resolved the %appdata% location incorrectly for the System account. Download: TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 | 14.6 MB (Freeware, paid upgrade available) View: TeraCopy Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • First exciting thing to come to Windows in a long time ! This is the kind of things they should focus on, instead of cramming as much AI as they can in everything.
