OT here's a Preview: Inside the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Beta

It will block pop ups but then I suppose they will come out with POP unders.


Internet Explorer will get its own built-in pop-up blocker. Intranets won't be affected, but when you're surfing the Web, IE will block any pop-up or pop-under window that wasn't triggered by your click. In the beta, an audible pop signals each blocking event.
