    Does anyone know if there is any way to give Microsoft feedback on IE without going to the Connect site? I'd like to tell them what I think...

    But you can have side by side windows without the change in UI already. You and I seem to be great at arguing out things neither of us will agree on :D Oh well, I enjoy them, at least you do so without resorting to negative comments and fanboy crap (at least when it isn't about Chrome being better..just kidding, fella :D ).

    lol always just for fun

    You can have Windows without changing the UI though, that's my point. I'm doing it right now. If I had a really big UI though (thick URL bar loads of unused space) I'd lose vertical space and F11 wouldn't solve my problem beacuse I want two windows open.

    Well even I will confess the busy bars on early browsers did make it feel kinda crowded, lol. I personally hardly ever have two windows up at a time, but I get your point, and no, F11 won't work there :)

    Woohoo! Looks like for $6 you can buy a progress bar addin for IE9. http://www.xinify.com/
    Not going to happen though. I've got better things to spend money on.

    Yeah, pretty funny. First they take the stuff out to make the browser better. Then they want to charge you to put it back in - ROFL (sorry couldn't resist)

    What's funny exactly?

    "They"? "They", have nothing to do with Microsoft whatsoever. "They" is nothing other than a company trying to make a quick buck from an addon, which you'll eventually see floating around for free somewhere.

    It would be better to have the native feature still present, though. I'm a minimalist... the mininal third-party code, the better. :D

    Correct, there is no "they" - just a joke. Browsers started losing features, now people are selling the features back. See what I mean? :cool:

    Classic Shell allows a lot more, and for less - no money. :D

    Nice! Installed the explorer and IE plugins, skipped the start menu. This solves all of my complaints. Thanks!

    -I checked with Process Explorer. It looks like all of the dlls support ASLR. I am impressed.
