IE7 Will Have Tabbed Browsing
loconet writes that early yesterday morning, "Dean Hachamovitch, IE product unit manager, confirmed that IE7, like Opera and Firefox first did years ago, will have tabbed browsing as one of its new features. Asa Dotzler,from Mozilla, points out that Dean reminds IE users who have not upgraded to XP that tabbed browsing can be added to IE through 3rd-party add-ons." cryptoz adds a link to this InformationWeek story which says that the tabs will be very "'basic' due to fears from Microsoft that tabbed browsing might scare off too many users. The feature is only being included because IE is slipping in the browser share market."
...until they try to patent it?
Resistance is futile. Reactance buggers it up.
um, control-tab?
Don't Tread on Me
That's easy. Now say that I'm in another application. I want to switch to Firefox and, as part of that operation, pull up Web Site X that's the 4th tab in the 3rd window. How do I do that?
The point that I was trying to make is that tabbed browsing creates a metaphor that is independent of any other window manager, including those used by Windows and Mac OS X. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
