Microsoft's Windows 7 Starter is a gift to Google

It turns out that the vast majority of all IE sessions contain three or fewer tabs.

That's only because tab management sucks when you put the tabs along the top of the screen, and the lack of organization means people feel obligated to close things out or re-use them rather than popping new tabs.

Since I started using Tree Style Tabs in FF, I'm averaging somewhere around 50 tabs up at a time (of course, I don't even notice this until FF tells me the number as I close out, since they're all collapsed and well organized).

Majority of IE users are 'normal people', they just don't need 50 tabs for their tasks, they don't live in the internets

It is not just geeks who need to have a lot of abs open in their browser. There are a lot of jobs that involve gathering lots of information, and a lot of that (intranet as well as internet) is accessed through browsers there days. Add to that personal and work usage, amusement etc.

thanks, tree style tabs is clearly the way the internet is supposed to be browsed (non linearity is the original innovation of hypertext)
