Okay, let’s get something straight. Internet Explorer 6 and earlier versions do not have tabbed browsing. The recently updated MSN Toolbar does have tabs, and works inside of IE. So, Internet Explorer did not gain tabs, it gained the MSN Toolbar which has tabs. Is that clear? If I read one more article about how Internet Explorer now has tabs and they suck I am going to go crazy.
Internet Explorer 7, which is supposed to go into beta this summer, will indeed have tabs built in. And you can bet they will work a lot more like the Firefox or Opera tabs than the MSN Toolbar. Why? Because it’s integrated into the browser, it’s part of the design! Expecting the tabs in the MSN Toolbar to work better than they do is unrealistic. The toolbar is an add-on, and can only make use of what IE already has, and it doesn’t have tabs.
Glad we cleared that up!
