uhm how many YEARS after EVERY OTHER browser had it?
And reading that post, you make it sound as if Microsoft originated the concept in IE6. Opera, IIRC, was first to market with the feature, followed by Mozilla and the rest.

I think NetCaptor was first
NetCaptor's engine was IE. Opera did have MDI though.
But no MS didn't catch on to tabs until IE7 (unless you count the lame implementation in the MSN toolbar or the MS Document Explorer that comes with Visual Studio).

get tabs
you have to have insttalled the toolbar
if you haven't
download the Windows Live Toolbar (the latest version and name) and install
when done, IE6 will have a blue plus sign on one of the visible toolbars
click the blue plus sign to open a new tab
tabs are not in File menu

Can't do that on anything but XP and Vista
Have 7 installed on my one XP box. Will never buy or install Vista.
