Microsoft unwilling to kill one of its Internet Explorer twins | |

What's the point of having two versions of Internet Explorer 11 within Windows 8.1? It’s a good question, and one that Microsoft executives say they haven’t completely solved. Dean Hachamovich, the corporate vice president in charge of Internet Explorer, said that the browser—which appears on both the desktop and Start screen, but in different forms—is bifurcated to satisfy two different sets of users. “One IE engine does all this wicked-fast, cool stuff,” Hachamovich said Wednesday during Microsoft’s Build 2013 conference in San Francisco. “Why two? Some people live in the desktop for some activities, and we want to make sure when you’re in Windows you have good experiences,” he said. | ||

| "Microsoft said 100 tabs can be used by IE11 at once, all without putting an undue strain on battery life." Is this really a problem, not being able to have 100 tabs open at once? |

If this means what I think it means, this is exactly what I've been waiting for! I often have 40+ tabs open. The problem is that the sites continue to suck CPU even in the background. If you get a few annoying sites with animated ads and other nonsense, it can bring your machine to a halt. Just as bad are the sites that just soak up memory over time until your machine crawls.
I'd love it if the browser simply told those background tabs to "sleep," which is what this sounds like. |
