I don't need tabs. I have a task bar! Does this irritate anyone else or is it just me?

It's just you.

Ok thanks. :)
-
I don't know about you, but my taskbar get's clogged pretty easily (Though not much any ever since I switched to Linux, Virtual Desktops FTW) so tabs are quite welcome for me

IE7 tabs suck
Do they!!!! I'll have to get me IE7 then! ;7 :drevil: :lol:
-
Ive never really found any use for tabs in firefox or IE.
Guess its because i do it the old fashioned way, dunno.

You try it once and you're hooked
it's like hashish i'm telling you right here!

Tabs are much better when multitasking and writing reports. It's a lot easier sifting through websites in the browser rather than trying to juggle word document and spreadsheet, and several web pages.
-
I only use tabs when I absolutely MUST (IE, when I have a ton of windows open.) And I avoid them at all costs. But all in all, I just hate IE7. I've never hated IE before but... no traditional menu? WTH? And moving the navigation buttons to unwieldy places was just silly.
I wish IE was completely skinable and I wish someone would make an IE6 skin for IE7. XD
-
This whining about tabs is completely pointless as IE7 allows you to turn off tabbed browsing. You can also enable the old-style menu in IE7.
Yet again uneducated whining, gotta love these.

Stop. Being. A. Dick.
It's not big, it's not clever, and it's not very admin-like of you.

See what's really odd about this is that my I.E.7 doesn't open anything in the tabs!

Its just you :)
I only got onto the bandwagon of using tabs recently. I didn't use tabs in Firefox, I just used the browser windows like you probably still do. For those of us who have been using browsers for ages like this its a hard habit to break. But the tabs are nicer ultimately as you stop clogging the taskbar with different windows of the same browser and start filling them with other applications :)

That's exactly how I fee l about it. Those first few tabs were a strange and wonderful experience.

I'd sooner die then go back to multi browser windows and window's XP's oh so inconvenient grouping.

What's "admin-like" then? Sucking up until your tongue is deep brown? I am honestly extremely tired of constant whining everywhere; at work, at home, here, bloody-everywhere. It is like humankind has devolved into a sad excuse of crybabies with nothing better to do but to whine about everything conceivable.
And see what you made me to do; to whine about whining. Gotta love the coldness of irony. Bah.

Tabs + Opera's timed Refresh + Ebay = WTF!

No, it's about not being a *****.
Allow me to demonstrate:

I don't really mind the tabs, but you can turn them off in the options of IE7.
Huzzah!

On the issue of I.E7 itself:
I'm rather pleased with it, from a developers point of view. Aside from the PNG issue (gamma shift being applied), I really do like it. Sure, certain units of measurement like ems and exs can be misinterpreted, but I've so far managed to create a website that looks uniform in both IE7 and FF2.0 with very few or no hacks. I'm sure as I add in more css2 content in future sites, I'll be once again cursing Microsoft, but for now it's actually rather dandy.
I just think it should have been issued as a critical update - because everything in it has been critically needed in ie6 for years.
-
i also hate tabs
-
I like tabs in Firefox... but I hate all things Microsoft... except Vista... that looks pretty cool!
-
I never have a problem with IE7 tabs.
Mostly because I don't use IE7.
-
Browsers that don't support tabbing are irritating... :P
How are you suppose to be able to surf around without constantly going back and forth? Use separate windows yaaa always wanted my taskbar cluttered :lol:
-
Peh, you're problem's IE7. Get Mozilla Firefox. NOW!

At work you're a network admin, right?

Amen. I hear you....you do computer support as well don't you? It sucks away your soul...it really does.
-
That it does.
Especially when dealing with crappy hardware from vendors with a warehouse full of old, dodgy disks to get rid of...
"Looks like I found the problem with the disk."
"What is it?"
"See this '7'? Next to the 'Seagate Barracuda 7200.'?"
-
Seagates aren't crappy. o.'.o
Ive never had nearly as good reliability or performance from any other brand than Seagate. They are the best, IMO.
-

Not uneducated. Lazy and uneducated. I figured you could probably turn it off but couldn't be bothered to look.

As a rule, yeah, but the Barracuda 7200 series 7 disks always seem to fail very early. At work I've recorded a maximum lifetime of no more than 8 weeks, and that's with a sample of 6 disks (ie. all the Barracuda's we have). WD Caviar RAID-Edition FTW.
-
I second the WD recommendation.
