This is a misunderstanding, I think. As of WinXP SP1, IE will not allow the creation of 'chromeless' windows (no title bar or close/minimize/hide buttons; <http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/chromeless.htm>). As of WinXP SP2, the status bar will be present by default and any attempt to open a window off-screen will be thwarted, among other restrictions (see 'Window Restrictions' on: <http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html /xpsp2websites.asp>). As an aside, you can check through the forum/wiki threads Scoble points to here: <http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2004/06/16.html#a7779>; they're mostly dealing with standards support in IE, but a few IE team members have popped in to discuss & have given a fair bit of info on what lies ahead for IE 6 & 7 on Windows. ck </delurk>
