It’s so simple but absolutely brilliant. The only thing the new tab page needs is a search box that searches programs and files.

This one person single-handedly “solved” the windows UI paradigm. This is how it should’ve been from the start. There was never any need for a non-window box like a start menu.

Microsoft, please hire this man and appoint him dictator of UX.

If you're using X, the fluxbox window manager supports tabbed windows: http://fluxbox.org/

Yeah I've always wished for something like that. That also gives (presumably) a much stronger programmatic association between windows (GUIs) and processes. Trying to programmatically figure those things out in e.g. X11 is sloppy at best.

Note that Haiku has OS-, or rather WM-level tabs, too, even if they qualify for one of the most non-discoverable GUI features ever[1] (apparently the idea comes from the original BeOS). Their web browser doesn’t use them, though.

Oh that’s really cool. Wonder if there’s an add on for windows/mac/Linux that achiever the same functionality
