Re: WLM to open IE in a new tab of the current window

As far as I know, opening the browser in a new window or in a new tab in the
newest window is just a matter of calling a different API, or maybe just a
change in the parameter in the same API call. Why doesn't the development
team delegate this option to the USER? What's the whole point of having a
browser with tabs when you can't really use them?

I'm using Win7 for a while now and I really think the new programs bar is
awesome. But why doesn't WLM follow the same path? Kind of strange if you
consider IE7, IE8 and Win7 come from the same company WLM does.
