We would like to thank everyone for giving our tabbed browsing implementation a try and submitting your feedback. We are actively listening and working on improving the feature!
Our goal in delivering this feature was to give IE users a tabbed browsing solution to enhance overall online search and browse experiences prior to the official release of IE7 without them having to install a completely new browser.
Many of you have reported a flicker when you switch tabs. We understand that this is bothersome and are actively working on improvements to reduce the tab flicker. There have also been reports of issues associated with tabs and using F11 in IE to get to full screen mode. We are also looking into a fix for this.
Our current MSN implementation does have some limitations as a browser add-in that we have had to work within. For example, in order to not override existing IE shortcuts, we picked shortcut keys different from other non-Microsoft tab-enabled browsers. For a complete list of keyboard shortcuts check out our Tabbed Browsing Help page.
Despite these constraints, we’ve built in a couple neat features that we believe you’ll find useful and convenient!
1) If you go into MSN Toolbar Options and select Tabbed Browsing, you can select to always have MSN Search result links open in background tabs. By doing so, the QuickTabs button is automatically enabled every time you’re on a MSN search results page.
2) When adding a new tab, you can have the default page as MSN Search or your IE home page. If you set it to MSN Search, every time you want to launch a search, you can just click on the new tab button.
3) You can restore your last viewed tabs from the last IE session by selecting the “Open Last Viewed Tabs” option off the My Tabs icon. This is great if you happen to close a set of tabs and want to get back to them.
In summary, we’re tracking your feedback closely and hope to have an improved version available very soon!

Wendy的西雅图游记（一），我喜欢。
评论：
昨天看到Wendy的西雅图游记，很是喜欢，立刻发了个链接，但转念一想，好像和这里一贯的风格不符，似乎没有给出什么所谓的“高论”出来，便又撤了下来。就在这个时候，我忽然意识到，这个blog已经不再是我的blog了，而更像一个杂志或媒体了。
对于一本杂志，比如《三联生活周刊》，比如《中国企业家》，再比如《IT经理世界》，我们希望那里篇篇字字珠玑，页页妙笔生花，这是应该的期望，因为那是杂志。但是对于个人的blog，有同样的期待，估计会很失望；若要用这个期待来要求自己，恐怕会把自己搞得太累。Keso兄的blog是个严肃的媒体，但那是多少的精力放进去，又加上多少的个人阅读以及多年的沉淀使然，并非人人可以尝试得来的。
媒体本身就够有压力了，Blog同时是个一个勾画细节的地方。细节是什么？细节是夺去所有人的光环，让所有的人，无论著名的，不著名的，有钱的，没钱的，变得越来越相像，越来越分不出彼此的东西。
一个人可能在世人面前奇妙非凡；然而他的妻子和随身仆人看不出他有什么过人之处。几乎没有人在家里被当作奇人蒙田在《随笔集》里是这样讲的。一种理解就是，“本来就没有什么认真的是奇妙非凡的，但只有家人和随从能从近处看到这令人失望的真相，或者，有人的确有意思，但是他的年龄和居处都离我们太近，我们往往不当回事，因为人有种奇怪的排斥身边事物的倾向”。Blog或者保持这种距离，或者打破这种距离。这同样无所谓好坏，只关乎选择。
比方说，当有人真以为我可以引用《随笔集》里的一句话，就猜测我好像看过这本书，这就是假的光环；其实，那令人失望的真相，也就是Wendy知道的细节就是，我只是看到《哲学的慰籍》这本书里对它的一次引用而已。
