IE7 Has Tabs

[penguinz]

Yes, IE7 has tabs.

In general, I think tabs are a great idea. I liked them a lot in Office dialogs and in Excel in the early 90's. (I used to work on Office, and I admit we almost added tabs to Word at one point.) I like them in Visual Studio. I think, as an industry, we have a ways to go in refining the experience, consistency, and value of tabs.

One window for multiple sites opened. This is quite handy. Instead of having multiple windows for multiple websites, applications, documents, etc...you have ONE window for all your websites, and the rest of your taskbar can have windows for whatever else you are using (application/document wise).

No sympathy here sorry. IE is used by about 85% of the worlds browser traffic. The other 15% need to get on board.

Peh. I typically only have email, a few Firefox windows and ACT! open. An occasional Excel, PP or Word window, too.

But, I suppose what you describe has its benefits to some users.

IE should worry about their security issues and speed. The tab dialog for web pages is very nice.

Thanks. I'll stick with Firefox. Mr. Bill

So it is a taskbar in a taskbar. I still don't see any huge benefit.
