Is it just me, or does this sound like something a character would be quoted on in Harry Potter?

Just because their motivation is lame doesn't mean that the resulting software will suck.

*gigglesnorts*

That said, whatever happened to "we don't think that consumers are interested in tabbed browsing"?

You know, I don't actually want tabbed browsing. I use IE for that very reason- that and the fact that both Opera and FF work very slowly on my computer, even with no extensions installed.

Well, you don't have to do the tabbed browsing thing just because it's an option.

I don't know about the majority of consumers, but I'm apparantly one of the ones who they were talking about- I don't like the interface or the appearance of tabbed browsing- I prefer having each of the web pages I've got open in its own neat little window.

Give me my single document interface back, Microsoft! ::sniffles melodramatically::

I'll assume Microsoft isn't stupid enough to make Tabbing mandatory.

You know what would be really cool? Tabbed MSWord. I hate how now multiple documents open in multiple windows, rather than all inside one. *Shakes fist at Microsoft*

Now that I can go for-- in fact, both of my preferred word-mashing programs, EditPad and RoughDraft, work like that.

In Safari for the Mac, tabbed browsing is disabled by default-- you actually have to enable an option in the preferences for "Open In New Tab" to even become a menu item. If Microsoft did it similarly, I don't think there would be any issues...

FYI, Abdul will be home tomorrow so you're off the hook.

I use FireFox for three reasons:

1) Tabbed browsing
2) Built-in pop-up and cookie blocking
3) The AdBlock plug in

FireFox has had all three since, what, 2004? Microsoft will have more than just pop-up blocking in when, 2006?
