What's really amazing is how lackluster the whole campaign is. IE is a touted as a "new browser", but here are the features they are especially proud of:

  1) Full Screen Browsing.
  2) Multitasking, which apparently means "Skype while full screen browsing".
  3) Reading view, a la the Readability or Clearly plug ins.
  4) Pinned sites, which I guess I don't understand, but it looks like Windows 8 tiles.

Do I qualify for a payment?




That's because IE development is typically around 2 years behind the others. So they can only "brag" about stuff others have already had for a while, but try to spin the features as new.


It works for Apple.


> 1) Full Screen Browsing.

Like pressing F11? IE8 has it...
