IE7 Has Tabs
Yes, IE7 has tabs.

In general, I think tabs are a great idea. I liked them a lot in Office
dialogs and in Excel in the early 90's. (I used to work on Office, and I
admit we almost added tabs to Word at one point.) I like them in Visual
Studio. I think, as an industry, we have a ways to go in refining the
experience, consistency, and value of tabs.

The main goal for tabs in our beta release is to make sure our implementation
delivers on compatibility and security. The variety of IE configurations and
add-ins across the Internet is tremendous. We want feedback on how it works
with add-ins that you run (or have written), with the sites that you visit,
and with the line of business applications, accessibility tools, management
and development tools that you run. We’ve also looked closely at reported
vulnerabilities in other implementations of tabbed browsing. We’re looking
forward to feedback from the security community as well.

The tabbed browsing experience in the upcoming IE7 beta is pretty basic.
Expect additional end-user functionality to come in after the beta.

You can browse with tabs with IE6 (and some earlier IE versions) today in a
few different ways. Several third parties, like Maxthon, have built browser
experiences with tabs on top of the IE platform. Several third parties have
built toolbars to provide tabs within IE as well. MSN’s recently released
toolbar will also be providing support for tabs within IE when they update it
in the coming months.

I think all of these are great! They demonstrate how extensible the IE
platform is. They also provide tabbed browsing in IE on top of Windows
versions (like Win98) that IE7 will not support.

Some people have asked why we didn’t put tabs in IE sooner. Initially, we
had some concerns around complexity and consistency… will it confuse users
more than it benefits them? Is it confusing if IE has tabs, but other core
parts of the Windows experience, like Windows Media Player or the shell, don’
t have tabs? I think we made the wrong decision here initially, and we’re
making the right one now. I’d like to ask you to post a comment with your
favorite or most critical IE add-ins… we want to make sure IE7 works great
with them.
