That’s the way to open a new page, or use Ctrl+O. There are compatibility modes with IE5, IE7, IE8, IE9, and IE10. The question is why no IE6 compatibility?

Drug-and-Drop HTML5 feature

Drag and Drop feature (when you can just drug file into your webpage to upload it, for example to add attachment to the e-mail) looks like useful and cool in HTML5 specification.
