The problem is that `Watir::Browser::Process.start` will create an IE process,
but will get wrong `PID` from `::Process.create`. The lines in question are in
[browser_process.rb](https://github.com/watir/watir-classic/blob/master/lib/watir-classic/browser_process.rb):
```ruby
process_info = ::Process.create('app_name' => "#{startup_command} about:blank")
process_id = process_info.process_id
```
I'm guessing that this command just starts the IE launcher, which will launch
the IE itself, but will exit after that. Everything works as expected when
using the same command with `calc.exe` for example.
I'm using Win8 with IE10.
This means that `Watir::Browser.new_process` does not work for me. It might be
working for older platforms.
