At last, IE support pop-up-block!!
But not so soon!!

CNet News:Internet Explorer to stomp pop-ups
Finally.......IE has the pop-up blocking function, but you can't get it without update to service pack 2 on WinXP. I'm start to miss Netscape.......When Netscape still have some market share, the kind of function improvement on both side is fast and reliable(Ver.1.0-4.0). But after Netscape declined and merge with AOL, the situation had never the same. The software giant almost give up any innovation improvement of IE(pop-up block, tab feature.....etc), only release security update to fix the hole. How pathetic...........users and netscape are both losers, one side lost their rights to choice, the other lost thie market......
-----------------------------------------------------------------
終於......IE可以有防彈出式視窗的功能,但是除非你用WinXP而且升級到ServicePack2,要不然還是沒輒。我開始懷念起Netscape了........當年Netscape還有雙位數市場佔有率的時候,這樣的功能更新(對兩邊都是)經常是快速而穩定的(想想1.0到4.0的IE和Netscape吧)。但是當Netscape逐漸衰敗而後被AOL併購,這樣的更新情形就不見了。已經穩佔市場的軟體巨人放棄了所有可以改進IE的創新功能(防彈出視窗,標籤視窗...等等),只有等到安全漏洞被發現時捕捕破網。多麼可悲啊,消費者以及Netscape都同樣是輸家,只是一個失去了選擇權,另一個失去了市場。
