“Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 is now out for developers to
try out and test — well kinda/sorta. You see the IE9 Test Drive

“IE9 as it is currently available lacks tabs. It lacks a back
button and it lacks an address bar. In my view, it’s a crippled

the confusion of a full fledged browser — though why tabs, address
bar and tabs would do that is beyond my comprehension.”
