Not sure why it needs me to close VLC and CD art Display:

My new browser though.

I have lived without all the Firefox extensions for a good while now so hello IE9 :D

I dunno why it had to close all my apps either but hell I'll take this new method over having to restart. In the end after it's done it restarts the apps it seems. I like this change, it's about time installing/updating IE doesn't need a damn restart of Windows.

Like I wrote down earlier: Compared to what you see with Safari 5 on Mac OS X the animations of IE 9 really aren't that smooth. I'm not saying the feature doesn't work the way it should, I'm just saying the actual animations are pretty rough.

I understood what you said. I'm saying they are not rough at all for me. Tearing off a tab goes very smoothly from it being a tab on the window to a separate tab page. There is no jerkiness or flickering or anything. The window border smoothly fades away as the tab is dragged.

It updates the Internet Options control panel so anything using it for obtaining network settings has to be closed.

which are the benefits for grouping tabs anyway ?

It makes it easier to see that those tabs are the same web site. :)

If you're doing a lot of tasks at once, tab groups help you keep track of which tags belong to each task, which can come in handy sometimes. That said though, the feature is far from perfect.

I'm a Chrome user, decided to switch to IE for a while. It definitely looks sleak, but I don't see how this will be sucessful when there's Chrome and Firefox, which do what IE9 does and more. I like the pinned tabs and group tabs, but I'd rather have a fully standards-compliant browser (IE9 only scores 95 at Acid3), spell checking and a download manager that doesn't look like a kid put it together.

( it doesn't work anyway..still colored)

Did you restart the browser?

^ Yup, having the same issue. Works fine in Compatibility Mode though, for now I'll just use that. The beauty of the web indeed...

According to the W3 validator that page has 103 errors on it. Not really IE's fault. ;)

Just add the site to the compatibility list.

Download manager notwithstanding, there is now the Speckie extension for in-line spellchecking, and the 95/100 on Acid3 was by design since those last 5 points aren't in the official HTML5 spec.

Anyone know how to enable the DoNotTrack header functions added in the RTM (as mentioned here)?

I'll see if my drivers are up-to-date, maybe that will fix things.

Why does the Ad Bot pop-up?? Clearly I'm logged in, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this message. :blink:

I'm seeing the adbot posts too. I think it's a Neowin glitch.

I've entered a defect report for the Aero Snap tab issue here if you want to vote on it.

Question -- when I open a pinned website, why does IE 9 open with no toolbars? Is this normal, or something I'm doing wrong?

They changed that behavior in the release candidate. I was actually hoping they would. Even more convenient would have been to allow separate favorite bars for pinned sites, but oh well... :D

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
