I didn't like the Tabs(browsing is different) in the OS, or the Control Strip. Besides, his stuff is old, and he hasn't bothered to update. [/B]
Well, I have to say, my own daddy-pops recently had some shocking things to say about what he felt about the company, to which he has been loyal (and a VAR, before the reseller standards revolution) for almost two decades.
He actually said something about switching...the BAD kind of switching. That's really, really harsh coming from him. He also said he's going to use all 16,000 votes he's got against Gore AND Jobs at the next investor thingy...
But as far as tabbed interface goes, I just think it would be cool to be able to switch from one set of windows and desktop icons and dock items and open applications to another. Like sitting at a desk with multiple computers. The possibilities for us graphic types and for customer service centers and people who truly use their computer for a variety of different and in-depth uses is pretty good.
Remember when there was the myth that you have to close all your windows before you shut down? Then it was debunked by the finest Macintosh scientists. Well some of us do anyway, because we hate visual clutter. But functional clutter, when organized, can be highly productive. That's why super-important people have big desks. I'll betcha if they had a button that would clean off their desk and put everything away, and then again put everything back in it's mess, they, like most of us, would use it both ways.
"It all makes sense, if you just stand back and absorb it..."
Plus, with multiple interface tabs open and Quartz extreme, you could do a Brady Bunch view with your different desktops and drag stuff around! WOW!!!!
