    Here my question: if you offer a browser with tabs, why would you not give users the possibility to open something in a new tab??? Or did I download the wrong version? An almost unbelievable usability blunder, or an incredible stupidity from my side :-)

    When I’ve used IE7 (admittedly not installed on my primary machine yet), it’s had the tab bar open at all times–even if only one tab is open. It’s as if they’re screaming “LOOKY TABS!” Despite that, it did take a minute or two to figure out that clicking the ugly stub next to the tab launches a new one–haven’t checked to see if they’ve copied my favorite Firefox feature of middle-mouse-button clicking a link to open it in a new tab. Anyhow, IE7’s biggest usability blunder I think will prove to be the elimination of the “File Edit View Fav…” menu bar across the top and instead dispersing those functions in hidden corners and pop-outs all over the UI. I sure hope they don’t plan on doing that to the Office suite.

    I’m using Firefox 2.0 right now and so far no complaints. The built in spell checker is very slick.
