What do you think? Is this a good idea?

As long as they don't forget the hot-keys to allow you to switch tabs without having to grab a mouse, then I don't have any objection to it. I don't see any benefit for doing it either. A list-box is a pretty damn easy concept, that's been a standard for how long? I'm all for new and better ways of doing things, but "change for the sake of change" usually causes many more problems than it solves. What I'm looking for here is: "What problem are we trying to solve?" Further, where is any data that says tabbed is better than list? A down side to all tabbed implementations is the loss of window real estate now taken up by a 40 px hight row of tabs. If somebody does push this idea through, then please "don't forget the damn hot-keys" ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
