images/news/ie.jpgBack in May, the Internet Explorer (IE) team left open the possibility that Microsoft might deliver a tab-responsiveness update for those of us suffering from IE 8 tab-performance issues.

Alas, that update isn’t going to happen. Based on feedback from Windows 7 testers, Microsoft has scotched the idea. Not only is there no tab-hang reporting functionality for the IE 8 release that is built into Windows 7, but there won’t be any for us IE 8 users running Windows XP or Vista, either.

“As stated in the May 5 IEBlog post, additional data was gathered from Windows 7 RC users and it was found that the additional tab “hang” reporting functionality was not necessary and an update was issued to turn the function off. We will continue to work to address responsiveness issues, but at this time the additional tab ‘hang’ reporting functionality will not be made available to Windows XP or Vista users.”
