Almost five years after the first tabbed browsers appeared on the market, Microsoft is finally getting in on the feature.
Early this morning, Dean Hachamovitch, IE product unit manager, announced on the IE blog that Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) will include tabbed browsing.
"Some people have asked why we didn't put tabs in IE sooner," Hachamovitch wrote on the blog. "Initially, we had some concerns around complexity and consistency. "I think we made the wrong decision here initially, and we're making the right one now," he added.
Tabbed browsing has been commonly requested by IE users. In a July 2004 online chat, Hachamovitch and his team were bombarded with questions about when and if the feature would be added.
I dont understand why Microsoft waited so long. Tabbed browsing is a very old story. Is it because of some copyrights? I dont think so....after all microsoft does not seem to be having any of his own ideas when it comes to softwares and UI's. may be now they might be thinking..'better late than never'...u got to go a long way....gates....
