After proselytizing Microsoft employees (and a few MVPs) to spin Maxthon on their own systems, I was formally introduced to Dave Massy – Senior Program Manager for Internet Explorer. Few folks seem to understand why tabbed browsing is better than using the regular ol' taskbar to flip between open browser windows; it's a difficult concept to explain unless you've actually tried them before. I, too, was once a Windows Web purist – refusing to see the value of alternative clients that use the Trident engine. When I was finally sick of being inundated with pop-unders a few years ago, I started to pay serious attention to the more popular IE overlays. After one minute of being on my system, MyIE2 became the default browsing app. Dave told me that the world will likely not see major updates to Internet Explorer until Longhorn. Methinks they need a solid “top ten reasons” to issue an interim build!
