Will Tabbed Windows Be the Next Big Thing?

Posted by timothy on from the oh-for-the-love-of-gimp dept.

kai_hiwatari writes "The recently released KDE SC 4.4 Beta 1 has introduced tabbed windows as a new feature. It is now possible to tab together windows from different applications. This looks like it will be a very good productivity tool. Like the tabbed browsers, this may well end up as a feature in all desktop environments in the years ahead."

    Dude, yes! We could put all our applications there as we're using them, possibly even group like ones together!

    Only it wouldn't be tabs anymore, it'd be tasks, so we could call it... not the tab bar... I know! Let's call it the "Taskbar!"

    Oh, wait...

    That's what Windows users always said about Opera and Mozilla tabs.

    The Microsoft put tabs in IE7 and 8.

    WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?
