To my experience the average web surfer only visits one web site at a time. That’s why they don’t need tabs. Of course, I use tabs. Actually, I use them in IE long before IE7 or Firefox saw the light. Scribe6, we had similar problems with SSL certificates. The problem often is that you don’t know what kind of web apps your users work with. They are not always installed on your own servers. This is the reason why this upgrade is really tricky.

I know, IE7's been out a year, as has Vista, and nobody supports it. Once we've got the go ahead from them, we'll install IE7 for everybody. You can't do much about the new machines (unless you're ordering them with XP SP2) but we have some control over the older stuff. I, however, wouldn't go back to IE 6 unless someone paid me to. I enjoy the tab browsing in Firefox and Opera, but not all the sites worked right due to all of the Active X controls that everything uses. At the end of the day, this white paper is just another document to read before we do what we do to make sure we don't break anything significant.

They really like the tabbed browsing feature which allows them to keep their desktop less cluttered. 95% of my users are on IE7.
