New IE smells like Mozilla

Something looks awfully familiar in these screenshots (1, 2) in the version of IE that will supposedly ship with the next Windows (codenamed “Longhorn”). This after a build of Longhorn was leaked to the public.

So it seems they finally decided to institute a popup blocker. And emulate Mozilla extensions with their IE Addons. Hmm… This is good news in the sense that Mozilla had it right all along.

I guess this will put several companies out of business, the companies whose business was to complement IE with these functionality.
