I just got an ad for a 3rd party product to add tabbed document browsing to
MS Office, and having lived through the MS Office SDI to MDI back to SDI
change this was a bit intriguing. Not that I'd ever pay specifically for an
MDI Office plugin, but now wondering if the time isn't ripe for Office to
switch back to MDI, or TDI as they are calling it now. With the wide-spread
adoption, if not expectation of tabbed web browsing, are people beginning
to expect a tabbed interface?
