can we have quicktabs in windows explorer?

now that internet explorer 7 in vista and xp has quicktabs, why can't they be
put into the windows explorer shell? it is somewhat annoying to handle with 3
or more explorer windows while you can manage 10 or more open websites easily
with the quicktabs.
i want at least an option to use quicktabs in explorer...

I know what you mean, and I'll put a suggestion in... however they might
just snap back saying you can group them in the Taskbar... having said that,
they did it with IE7 and IE7 and Explorer are still very closely combined
aren't they...

Hmm... I'll keep you up to date with any feedback )

i don't want them grouped in the taskbar because there i can't see at one
glance which places i have opened [like in IE, firefox]. With grouped tasks
in the taskbar, the extra click to see the "tabs" is annoying and time
consuming [also in drag and drop scenarios].
Also, there must be an obvious reason why Firefox, IE7 and linux
(file-)browsers have a tabbed interface instead of using grouped tasks in the
taskbar...

where do you file the suggestion? i'm not so into windows vista beta testing,
i'm only in the beta program because of testing the WinFX framework. there
are the lab.msdn.microsoft.com feedback pages to file suggestions and bugs of
the winfx framework so is there an equivalent for win vi?

It's not a WinFX sorta thing, so I'll use the Microsoft Beta Client - that's
the only way testers can file bugs at the moment. MSDN subscribers can use
the web pages they have access to to file bugs, but I'm not sure where about
this is )

today, i've got stuck with 10 explorer windows in taskbar with another bunch
of windows while firefox handles 10 website "windows" great through its tabs
or visual studio handles the code files great with its tabs, ... could go on
and on with progs which have a tabs feature - only explorer doesn't want
tabs, or microsoft doesn't want tabs for it
