Which explorer are you referring to? IE7 will switch between tabs with Ctrl-Tab, earlier versions don't have tabs. Of course I've only used IE on Windows, and reluctantly at that.
Ctrl-Tab only works with child windows contained within the main app window, rather than different instances of the same app. MDI rather than SDI.
The closest thing Windows has to switching between different instances of one app is Alt+Tab in XP and above, with "Group similar taskbar buttons" enabled (the default). That way all the windows of one app will be clustered and you can Alt-Tab or Alt-Shift-Tab between them without having to search through the other apps as well. As far as I'm aware, there's no way to switch between the multiple documents in different instances of one app with one shortcut. You'd have to Alt-Tab between the windows and Ctrl-Tab between the documents in each instance.
If this post doesn't make any sense then I rewrote it too many times.;)
It was a response to this:
I have a feeling that Spaces is "supposed to" separate things by application, not necessarily by window. Linux and Windows throw all windows into one huge Alt-Tab clusterfsck, where Apple says: Command-Tab is for switching applications, and Command-` is for switching windows within an application.
So it's the equivalent of Command-` on a Mac - switching between windows (or tabs) within an application.
It predates Vista, I believe it was introduced in 95.
Hmmmm, I have a hunch macsforever2001 might have a slight pro Apple bias.;)
Legalities aside, I don't think there's anything wrong with the Psystar's concept but their execution stinks. The jet engine fan noise tells me that they either didn't bother with any real testing or they just don't care. Neither is a glowing endorsement of the company. Like you said, it's the integration.
Incidentally Apple calling their fixit guys geniuses is wrong in so many ways.
I get the impression that there are some really innovative ideas to be found in Redmond, slowly being crushed under the weight of insipid and visionless management. I'm surprised Surface got as far as it has.
As for RoughlyDrafted, it's only right by chance. Occasionally his frothing zealotry happens to align with reality, rather like a stopped clock being right twice a day.:D
Somewhat off topic, but thanks for posting that. I feel better about owning and recommending Sony Ericsson phones knowing that they're part owned by arseholes rather than being known arseholes themselves.
I knew I shouldn't have baited a zealot, but here we go...
Well if the worst I've done is to upset you with "blatant lies" is in saying that WHS wasn't available at the time of the writing of an article you dug up months after I wrote it, then I have little to worry about.
It's not the only problem, it's just the example I chose to give. That should have been obvious from my wording. If I were to pick fault with eveything you've written I'll be here all day.
You compared the features of an unreleased product as if it were finalised, criticising it before full information was available. You also didn't mention the features it has which it's rival doesn't. Your blog is rife with this sort of misinformation, bu that's what you expect should expect of a zealot.
Thanks for clueing me into the fact that there are fanatical Microsoft fans in the UK.
Show me my fanatical devotion to Microsoft. As I've said before, I only use Windows because some software I want doesn't run on other OSes without jumping though more hoops than I can be bothered with, if it will work at all. My criticism of your factual inaccuracies doesn't mean I support Microsoft. Why would a "fanatical Microsoft fan" refuse to "upgrade" to Vista and advise everyone who asks to do the same? I certainly don't.
Why anyone would be a devoted fan and defender of such a shitty, undeserving, criminal company always has me puzzled.
Where did I defend Microsoft? I attacked you for your falsehoods. Is it that you can't see the difference or do you just refuse to?
...naming its WiFi base stations AirPorts.
Your reading comprehension needs work. I mentioned it because I thought it was funny, in the light of a known (and sadly dead) Apple fan's comment, I even told you so at the time.
That's something like being sued by the US, EU, and most of the states for cheating customers with excessive prices, illegally preventing competition, and monopolizing markets to restrain trade and the state of the art.
Yes, Microsoft's business practices are outrageous. Were you grinning when you heard about the huge fine the EU gave them recently? I certainly was. Is that the behaviour of a fanatical fan? If you think so there's something wrong with you.
Microsoft is shithole, and why you'd want to shove your tongue up it leaves me speechless.
I think by now we've established that I don't. It's also obvious that you accuse anyone who critises you or Apple of being a Microsoft fanatic, and by so doing you prove that you are a narrow minded zealot.
In case you've missed it, I am not a Microsoft fanboy.
Vista is crap.
Microsoft's business practices are shameful.
No-one wants a Zune.
Microsoft should get even bigger fines.
Does that make it clear to you? Probably not. Unless I subscribe to the cult of Jobs you'll probably always believe I'm a Microsoft fanboy. That's something I'll never do, since I think he's just as much of an arsehole as Gates and Balmer.
Since I'm still here, Microsoft do have some good points. My co-workers have praised their customer service and I rather like their mice. No corporation is entirely good or entirely bad although I can't imagine you accepting that. From what I've read of your material you believe that every Apple product is better than its rivals in every conceivable way.
I'm sure you'll take everything the wrong way when you reply.
I typically write about topics that either interest me, or are being falsely portrayed by idiots in the corporate media.
What about your false portrayals of other companies on your travesty of a blog? Your article comparing Windows Home Server to AirPort Extreme was hilarious. Like many of your articles it's full of blatant lies, either that or you don't know what you're talking about. I particularly like the way you claim this doesn't exist.
Going even more off topic than I was before, I can't help wondering if Apple were aware of this when they named the AirPort: "It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on Earth has ever produced the phrase, 'as pretty as an airport.' Airports are ugly. Some are very ugly. Some attain a degree of ugliness that can only be the result of a special effort."
Courtesy of Douglas Adams, something of an Apple fan himself. Perhaps if you read some of his writings in "The Salmon of Doubt" you would understand the difference between advocacy and zealotry.
And no, I'm not saying it's ugly, I just think it's funny. Having read your posts before I thought I'd better make it it clear.;)
This has been an off topic personal attack. You may now mod me down.
Maybe you've never considered this, but calling someone a hater makes you look like a zealot. Maybe you are one, maybe not, but you certainly look like one now.
I'm not the sort to rummage through your recent posts to find out. Making enemies is a fool's game.;)
I think they should fix the map data first. If I plan any route from home using Google Maps it starts by telling my to drive east through a neighbour's house and garden to get to a minor road instead of driving west to get to the main road. The lane which links my house and several others to the main road is clearly visible on the satellite image.
This seems to be caused by Google's use of the crappy Teleatlas map data.
XP doesn't use write caching for removable drives but 2000 does and there's no way to turn it off. You can only flush the cache by using the "Safely Remove Hardware" applet. What were they thinking?
If any of you are stuck with flash drives on 2000, you really need to get Sync 2.0.
You may require a driver for the drive controller, some laptops have SATA drives these days.
Hit F6 when it asks you if you need a third party RAID or SCSI driver. You'll need to put the driver on a floppy and hope it supports USB floppy drives in "text mode".
Of course if you can't find the driver, you're screwed.
I use Creative Recorder 2, which allows you to record anything processed by the sound card. I doubt it would work without a Creative sound card though.
I can confirm this. I had the update service set to manual so it would start when it was required, but it simply doesn't work unless it's set to auto and has been running since the PC booted. Another example of Microsoft not following their own standards.
The Hood was not one of Britain's best ships, it was obsolete, badly in need of a refit and under armoured. The Bismarck was a battleship, Hood was a battlecruiser - much less armour and with a well deserved reputation for exploding.
The huge force sent out to defeat the Bismarck was not because it was extremely tough, but because it was extremely dangerous to Britain's shipping. There's also the issue of regaining prestige lost when "The Mighty Hood" (yeah right) blew up.
As for pocket battleships, there were no British warships twice the size - the closest I can think of right now is Repulse, about 2½ times the size. I wouldn't call its 9×15" guns less powerful than a pocket battleship's 6×11" guns.
Propellers are obsolete for submarines, pump-jet propulsors are used now. The US Navy first used them on the Seawolf class, the next class of missile sub is certain to get them. The sub in the picture is an Ohio class, the first of which was commissioned in 1981 - hardly cutting edge technology these days.
The worst that photo will do is give potential enemies a better idea of an old sub's capabilities, not allow them to build a sub that's as quiet as the latest US subs.

Try Ctrl+Tab next time you're on a Windows box.
It's been a while since I last used Linux, but I bet it has an equivalent too.
Like this?
I have to agree with you all the way.
:D

True, but I couldn't be bothered to type that. It doesn't change the essential fact that they've tradmarked a colour, just a more specific one.
;)
Are UPS the company of choice for shipping Zunes?
Actually UPS have trademarked the colour brown according to Wikipedia, Engadget and plenty of other places.

One Mac. How many other computers? This is Slashdot, you can't have just one.
The windows key is a modifier as well as an action key. It modifies E to open Windows Explorer, for instance. Not saying it's a good idea though.
Does anyone, even the most diehard Microsoft fanboy (are there any?) use the right windows key or the context menu key next to it?

I have to ask, how does the White Swan (TU-160) count as a fighter jet? Its bomb-load weighs more than an F22 at maximum takeoff weight.
-1 Pedant?

There's very little content that's appropriate for both a 2560x1200 screen and a 120x160 phone display...

Does a 404 count?
Care to give an example of content sized for a 2560x1200 display?
