Internet Explorer 7 leaked online

I think its strange that mostly everyone moaned about IE not having tabbed windows,now that Microsoft have finally added the feature people throw around chirps like 'copycat'. Awesome guys.

They are all copycats .

The first browser to offer tabbed browsing was InternetWorks, developed by Booklink Inc., and winner of the Comdex show's Rookie of the Year Award in 1994. The program was renamed GNNworks the following year when it was bought by AOL and incorporated in their online client. (The same development team then went on to develop AOL's Instant Messenger application.)

The next known browser with what it called "dynamic browser tabs" was Simulbrowse, now called NetCaptor, released by Adam Stiles on January 3, 1998, followed by Opera V4 in 2000 (Opera had earlier introduced the multiple document interface enabling cascading and tiling of browser windows). For some reason Internet Explorer and other browsers did not immediately appreciate this innovation, and the next known browser to offer tabbed browsing was Mozilla in 2003, followed by Apple's Safari. However, once it became a discriminator, everyone had to have it, and by 2005 most browsers supported tabbed windows of some kind.

Tabbed browsing rocks - BUT, is there any way that I can make "new windows" rather open in a new tab. For example, if I click the lick at the top of this thread, it opens in a new window (new instance of Firefox). Now, I know that the HTML says "open in new window", but it would be great if I can override this in Firefox (Open new windows in new tab Y/N type setting).

Any ideas?

Theres a browser call maxthon that does that really nicely, or else get the firefox plugin to do it... sooooo anyone got a copy of this IE? pm me please hehe.
