Windows Vista Leaks ... Again!

Posted by samzenpus on from the look-at-it-now dept.

This latest build includes some major revamping of Windows Media Player, including a smart interface. Also, IE 7 now sports tabs a la Firefox, under the address bar. Are these leaks accidental, or is Microsoft actually trying to pull a 360?"

    Who actually started this tabbed bowsing thing? I thought Opera had tabs before Firefox?

    The better question is what mod thought that this flamebait would actually be "Interesting" to discuss for the 2342343th time. Crixus, if you haven't seen this topic enough to make you sick, then you must have taken a 2-year leave of absence from slashdot (which doesn't sound like a bad idea).

    News at 11: Opera had tabs before firefox. But first, we'll go to breaking news indicating vi is much better than emacs.

    If you think about it, the only users that are going to be downloading beta software are the dedicated fans

    Huh!? While I am a Microsoft "fan", I also make a great deal of $$$ writing software for Microsoft operating systems. This may be a surprise to you, but there even are companies that make BILLIONS of $$$ writing software for Microsoft OSs. I download the beta to ensure compatibility, and to make sure I'm ready to support the new features. It's serious business, not just something to play with.
