Ppphfffssss... Sounds like KDE Konqueror or Mozilla Firefox with Microsoft branding on it.

I mean, why the hell wait for IE7 when you can do everything you want with Firefox and Konqueror already, not to mention for over the past year.

IE7 - just a bunch of old standard tools to me. And they call themselves "innovators".

Internet Explorer 7 is just a ripoff off of Firefox, Konqueror and Opera all together, but of course with more security flaws I assume. :wink:

I agree they totally stole the tabs from firefox. Although I have to admit the RSS in Firefox is pretty bad IMHO, although Konqueror's Akregator integration is awesome. Best RSS reader I have found. And IE will never match the amount of sweet plugins Firefox has

It was actually Opera that first had tabbed browsing :wink:

Well MS still took the idea from Firefox because it was so popular. Opera isn't near as popular as Firefox.

They stole tabbed browsing from Chuck Norris.
