I really hope ie9 won't be like that.Position of the tab is really stupid and very ugly. It looks more like firefox and maxthon 3. A lot of people find ugly ie8 apparence but after some changes I find it really clean and fine.



But it's a question of tast. We're lucky to have 5 or 6 good browsers and firefox fan would others look like him and the same for google I found that is really sad.Personaly i use safari 5 by default and it's the same (people says:" when we can customize the colors I put him condescend to try"). The diversity of choices is a luck and we would like that they are like everyone, all the same.(since version 5 safari works really well on windows).
I apologize for my english.

With approximately a week left until Microsoft will debut the public Beta of its revolutionary Internet Explorer 9 browser, new leaks allow users to get a better idea of what the company has in store for them come September 15th, 2010.

The video embedded at the bottom of this article is reportedly offering a sneak peek at the Beta development milestone of Internet Explorer 9, which is scheduled for launch next week at the “Beauty of the Web” event in San Francisco.

The source of the video claims that it is in the possession of the IE9 Beta installer, and while it has not leaked the actual bits, it did demo the new browser, as users can see below.

Fact is that with the official Internet Explorer 9 Beta just eight days away, it’s probable that the IE team has already wrapped up at least pre-Beta Builds, if not the actual release that will be delivered to the public.

I agree on this looking ridiculously fake. I don't think MS wants this UI to look anything like IE8, because of the bad reputation that browser has gotten over the past time(I'm not saying it's (un)fair).

Microsoft will design a more slick interface which suits the browser's quality (IE9).

Id imagine youl be able to customise its toolbars.

I just hope that's a dirt slow computer they are running it on. That was KLUNKY :/

But we'll know in a few days I guess :)

The guy was using CamStudio which is notorious for being bad at recording fast animation on the desktop. (Try playing a movie on your desktop and record it with CamStudio on default settings, it'll look choppy). CamStudio was made just to record simple motions on the desktop.

If the UI is customizable (some settings to split the address bar and tabs bar), then it doesn't really matter to me.
