Yeah, we all knew they would eventually do it:

I don't know why it is that when I read that it makes me recall an old statement I once heard, I don't remember where, but it went like this: "Yeah, you're talkin' loud, but you aint' sayin' nothin'"

For some reason that sounds like a bunch of bloated rhetoric that really doesn't hit. It's like throwing a punch and missing...just stroking the air.

I read some of the comments on that forum and it was funny that most of those crazy cats are getting their panties in a knot over tabbed browsing.

I hate tabbed browsing, I never use it in Firefox. It just reminds me too much of AOL.

Hmm, I like tabbed browsing. For me, it allows for faster surfing and getting to the information I need. I never used AOL so I wouldn't know about the comparisons. But Firefox does it for me, I just wonder if there's an extension that lets you toggle through the tabs faster via the keyboard...that would be great.

For immediate release:

Microsoft invents "The Wheel", a "circular" device that will allow people to "roll" objects along a surface without having to carry it.

Microsoft is very happy to announce this product to our customers. We really think it is ahead of its time and will revolutionize the industry and the way people use their objects.

Puh-lease.....

Derek in his usual bad mood. Wait, now you get paid to talk bad about Microsoft don't you Mr. Apple Store?

They only added tabbed browsing because people were asking for it. They never claimed to have invented it, or rediscovered it.

I don't work at Apple. I only have an interview.

I didn't even read the article, we just haven't had an OS war in a while and the forum is dead...

Oh, so you're not getting paid yet, you are just lobbing fodder to help you land the job. I bet you are going to print this out and hand this in as part of your portfolio too eh?

Why are you so hostile today Matt? Bad week at work? You know I just bash MS whenever I get the chance, just like you do with Apple. It's good that IE will have tabbed browsing, it'll make the masses more comfortable with that technology. IE is just a steaming pile of crap overall, whether you are a MS hater or supporter or indifferent, it's pretty obvious that that is true.

I'm not the hostile one here, I'm just my usual sarcastic-ass self. And don't ask a question like "bad week at work?" When you see those four words in that order, it should be a statement, not a question. I don't care who you are, work is never good. Work and good shouldn't even be in the same sentence, unless it's something like "It's been a long week at work, good thing it's Friday"
