Microsoft at PDC Nov. 18 shared some new ideas it's bringing to Internet Explorer 9. The company says it plans to make the browser more Web- and developer-friendly, while still maintaining the familiar Internet Explorer identity. That sounds nice, but in the end, Microsoft said very little about what it specifically plans to offer in IE 9.

Pretty ridiculous assertions, some of them. Great monday-morning quarterbacking. First, it's "Don't copy your competitors!" Then it's, "Copy everything that differentiates your competition!" Nonsensical. Open-sourcing IE will automatically somehow making it more secure? I want data to prove that, not just hand-wringing.
The best one is the assertion that IE go multi-platform--just like Apple did with Safari--instead of being Windows-only "since its inception." Where has this guy been???

#1. STOP stealing focus from my cursor when I'm trying to type in addresses.
#2. STOP farting around with the address bar while I'm typing stuff in.
#3. GIVE me back control over my tool bars. It's MY browser, not Microsofts, once I'm using it. Microsoft's vision of a user interface has sucked eggs lately (i.e. the dreadful Office 2007/2010 ribbon system).
#4. END drive-by spyware installs once and for all. For real this time. Just don't talk about it. DO IT!
#5. Leave the !%!@#$!$^#%^&^# insertion point the hell alone when I put it somewhere. I put it there for a reason!
IE infuriates the hell out of me. I simply cannot stand it.
