Anyone have the New IE Browser?

http://news.com.com/IE+is+evolving%2...tml?tag=st.pop

What's new now
The new improvements to IE won't change much in terms of looks, but some of the changes will likely be immediately obvious to users. The biggest updates include:

? a new pop-up blocker that will stop most pop-up advertisements from appearing;

? an "information bar" similar to that in Outlook 2003 that will replace traditional pop-up dialog boxes to notify users of active downloads, blocked pop-ups, and other background activities;

? better management and notification of "browser helper objects," small pieces of add-on technology often used by spyware and adware developers; and

? a host of security fixes aimed at blocking identified flaws.

The release that includes the updated browser is available on Microsoft's Web site in a version aimed at administrators updating several computers. Individual releases will be available through Microsoft's online update service over the next few days and weeks.

Just curious how it effects pop-ups?
