UI For Internet Explorer 9 Revealed

Internet Explorer 9 isn?t due out until mid September, but Microsoft Russia have got a bit excited and posted a screen shot of IE9?s user interface. The screen shot has been confirmed as genuine.

The site has been pulled since the image was posted, so the above screen shot is all we have for now. Mary managed to find out the following from the site however.

  • Tabs can be ?torn off?, and possibly ?snapped? via Windows 7′s Aero Snap feature.
  • Dragging a ?pin? from the address bar creates a link on your taskbar.
  • There?s a combined search and address bar (as with Google?s Chrome).
  • IE9 only has one menu, consolidating the six menus found in IE8.

    It seems to be much more minimalistic than previous versions, no suggested sites along with some other icons that we?ve been used to seeing. but there?s still button for home, favourites and settings.

    Whether you?re a fan or not, all signs point to is being a winner in terms of performance. And it?s certainly in keeping with Microsoft’s current aesthetics.
