then again, maybe the EU Antitrust thing had an impact on the speed of IE development? Thinks. M$ can't be THAT slow right? haha

If I'm not mistaken, the EU anti-trust action was only about Microsoft integrating IE into Windows XP (and now Windows Vista). I don't think they were stopping Microsoft from developing IE. In fact, I remember Microsoft ceasing development for quite a while after IE6.

Hopefully Microsoft will add some improvements and customization to the tabs... and some skin support!

I think the title says it all ZuePhok and thats why I have been using Mozilla based browsers since 2003

(Opera isn't half bad either use it as a second browser here)
