Tabbed Working | |||||||||||||||||
I love tabbed browsing in Firefox and now Explorer. I think this idea could be applied to many other pieces of software. MS Word for instance would be fantastic with a tabbed function. One instance of Word and every doc you have open tabbed at the top. I mean why should I have to pull open the Start Bar at the bottom to know and then cycle through the documents? Tabbed browsing rules!

Almost all linux applications have "tab" functionality, including the desktop environment itself. While I can't speak from direct experience, I believe Mac does as well. Windows seems to be the only platform that does not really "do" tabbed browsing as much.
Then again, most computer users are near illiterate and cannot figure out what tabs are, much less use them. This probably lends to companies not including such useful features. If most of your customers are, for all intents and purposes, functionally retarded, why even try?
My text editor; EditPadLite has that.
OpenOffice does that, works with MS Office files, and its free.
Sorry for DP, but I just remembered that Excel uses tabs to an extent, not between different documents but different sheets within. Probably from 1.0. Wonder why they never got the idea to extend it.
Yes, Excel almost had this figured out. At least they allow you to tile windows, etc. which means you only have one instance of Excel running. <tg>
