Internet Explorer 11 to get new 'enterprise mode'

[Brink]

Microsoft is said to be working to add a new 'enterprise mode' feature to IE11 to try to help Windows 7 business users with IE8 dependencies get 'unstuck.'...

...Enterprise Mode for IE (EMIE), as it's referred to internally, is supposedly going to be a new feature of IE11. According to my sources, EMIE will allow businesses to specify which sites should be loaded in IE8 compatibility mode and which don't need it. Users who need IE8 to view certain intranet sites and internal apps would still be able to move to IE11 on Windows 7 (or Windows 8.x) thanks to the new compatibility mode functionality. But they still would be able to make use of all the rest of IE11's features the rest of their browser needs.

I've asked Microsoft whether the plan is to include EMIE support in Windows 8.1 Update 1, or if this capability will be rolled out separately at some other date. No word back so far from the Softies.

Update: The IE team had no comment on this post, according to a spokesperson.

Sounds good for businesses,
I was hoping for a basic change to have user agent string changes stick without keeping developer tools open all the time
Cheers.
