Nintendo shot themselves in the foot with Aquare by refusing to go with CD media for the N64... Square had a fit because they wanted to put a *lot* of content (read: cutscenes) into their games that they could only do on CD. So they jumped ship to Sony, who had worked with Nintento on the aborted SNES CD drive project.
I, for one agree with you on the tabs issue. Snapback just seems a better way of handling this problem of multiple windowing, you get one window, can set any point to jump back to instantly and away you go without worrying about keeping track of what tab is what, especially when you can't reorder them and you have so many that the tab titles are comperssed to "Goo.."; "Th..."; "Form.." etc.
Snapback made sense after less than five minutes - a total boon for goole searching and gave me that dawning "ahhh.. so this is how it should be done" feeling that is all too rare in modern computer UI design (outside of the Mac world that is;)

Family? I thought she drank from the furry cup...
