for all those of you who still prefer the integrated approch of microsoft here is a very light-weight and fast add-on that allows for tabbed browsing on internet explorer. additionally, pc magazine has put up a very favorable review of the msn search toolbar, which actually works very nicely imo.

why do i still use ie? well, after a sp2 install it is as secure as the other option and the key advantage to me is the ability to synch bookmarks/favs accross multiple machines via groove virtual office.
