What Babbage did was, more or less, equivalent to not only keeping the client waiting for the first version, but scrapping the design and starting from scratch, again and again and again, to the point where nothing whatsoever was ever ready or usable or even in a demo state. I didn't know Babbage worked on Duke Nukem Forever!
At least with IE, each time you press Ctrl-N for a new window, it's still the same process. So if one window goes down, they all go down. Thus there's no real advantage of using separate windows over tabs, unless you start a new process for each new window, at which point the browser will be a memory hog from having so many duplicate processes.
Upon seeing this, I immediately wondered whether the OS's web browser could run itself. I'm posting this comment from inside YouBrowser, which is running on YouOS inside of another YouBrowser inside of YouOS in Firefox. So looks like it's possible. I wonder how many levels you could go down...
ROMs are not necessarily pirated. As long as you own the original medium (cartridge, disk, CD, whatever), it's legal to have them as a backup copy, same as if you had copied the physical medium. I think it's a bad sign if the popular opinion is that all ROMs are, by definition, illegal.

So you want Streets of SimCity then. I'd love new versions of that and SimCopter with modern graphics and physics engines.
