Nope, least not that I can see.. pretty much it is identical to IE7.
This is pretty much just targeted at developers rather than actually adding more functionality.
The main complaint I have right now is that as I am typing this the chat box is lagging really bad.
So it does not exactly like our forms... some of the buttons do not work.. but that is not the fault of the devs it is that this is not webstandards complaint.
In IE7 mode tho this runs fine...
Otherwise I like the browser.
Also the mouse cannot select a placement of the cursor in the box to type this... so that definitely is a bug for the devs.

Like every other microsoft product they have to stop including all the old garbage code and just rewrite the program from the ground up.
