Tabbed browsing for one, RSS feeds.

[Midlodemocrat]

6. Yes, I do.

what is tabbed browsing? I have an RSS reader installed already.

11. Tabbed browsing let you open up more than one page in one window...

Rather than a separate window for each page. Really great feature.

13. Interesting. I'll be impressed if they finally fucking did it.

14. Just installed it but haven't used it...two comments already...

1) That installation window was hideous.

2) You should NEVER have to restart your computer when installing something as simple as a web browser. Seriously.

[DS1]

16. Agreed.

The restart was disappointing, but unsurprising for M$. And yes, I think they hired someone who sees in black and white to pick those colors.
