I'm glad it finally has tabs like FireFox, but I think it's dumb of MS to make tabs a IE7 thing. Why aren't they a OS thing? That is, why when you open up one program with multiple files don't they appear as tabs along the bottom, rather than multiple task bar icons? Examples are MS Word, MS Access, MS IE 6.... where multiple documents in the same application take up task bar space.
They did a half baked solution in Win XP with the grouping thing on the taskbar, but that's nowhere near as functional as tabs - it's 2 clicks and shorter descriptions.
I'm sure once someone else builds an add-on for the OS to do that, MS will copy it (like they copied FireFox and everything else in the past... ) .. here they had an opportunity to take it one step better than FireFox.
My 2c worth :-)
Roger.
