November 20, 2006 (Computerworld) -- I agree with most of the opinions expressed in "Hands On: A Mac Fan Takes on Vista" [Computerworld.com, Sept. 27], but the following claim is just plain wrong: “Now, try opening your list o’ links in multiple tabs at one time. Safari and Firefox, for instance, add an ‘Open in tabs’ command to the bookmark folder menu that opens when you click on a folder of links. IE7 doesn’t offer that option — essentially making the use of tabs in Microsoft’s latest browser useless to me.”

If you create a folder in Favorites and then right-click on the folder, IE presents you with an option to “Open In Tab Group,” which functions just like Safari and Firefox.
