One point for Gryfondor... errr.. IE9. No resizing.

>Not only that, but it resizes the window to just under maximum - so you can't just toggle restore/max to return to your former browser window size. Your former finely tuned settings are overwritten and lost. That's a tactic that malware/scareware sites use, to try to make sure that if you're using your browser at all, the scary message always covers your whole monitor, whether maximized or not.
