I don't think most people care about a 1/2 second difference. If you
use Windows to be productive, you probably leave your windows open, so
opening speed is a non-issue. If you're a casual user, you likely
don't care either way.

That's odd, it works exactly like that here, I just tried it to
confirm. I clicked the star to open my favs, right-clicked on an item,
selected "Open in New Tab" and bingo, a new tab with that page.

Perhaps you're talking about an early beta of IE7 that had lots of
problems.

If FF was the only other browser with tabs, then I would agree, but
since all web browsers are tabbed now and FF was certainly not the
first to add it, claims of IE7 copying FF tabs are a wild guess at
best. Microsoft is usually slow to adopt, so it was just a matter of
time before tabbed browsing made it to IE anyway.

I concur. I don't know why his setup is having issues opening extra
IE7 windows. I never have less than 2 IE7 windows open, and often have
3-5 open while researching information. And I've been able to open
multiple IE7 windows without serious issues since at least Beta2.

I would recommend a clean reinstall of Vista, then carefully monitor
the situation as drivers and apps are installed. More than likely it's
another app or driver causing a conflict.
