True, and AFAIK theirs is the only browser left without a built-in popup 
blocker.  However, that's supposed to part of the Great Big XP Service 
Pack 2 release, due real soon now.  Of course, the people most likely to 
move fast on the SP2 upgrade are probably the ones most likely already 
to have a third party popup blocker (perhaps in the form of a different 
browser!).
