Default Is MS losing it? IE 7 almost as bad as Vista

And even more
relevant for Microsoft is the fact that even with IE7 on the market, it
has continued to lose its grip over the browser market dropping from
over 80% in 2006 to 77.35%, while Firefox grew to an estimated 16.01%.
I didn't even know what browser version I had - I've got IE 7.

Works for me.
Me too, but I rarely use it. I use Firefox. I like it.
You know what I hate most about Firefox and IE7?

Tabbed browsing.

Tabbed browsing is what turned me on to FF in the first place at a time when
IE hadn't gotten around to it.

Just curious, what don't you like about the tab feature?


I don't know - seems like over kill. You can always open another
window if you need more than one - hell, two or three if necessary.

I had somebody tell me one time that the advantage of tabs was that
she could open as many as 14 tabs at once and flip back and forth.

My answer was that she needed serious psychiatric help. :)

From an ergonomic standpoint, it's no better than opening up another
window, so what's the point?


It is the same thing as using your bottom toolbar, but I would think it
would use less resources since you don't have a different shell opened
for each page.
