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

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

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.

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.

No, it's about not being a *****.

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.
