And that sentence I can make no sense out of. "magically appear out of a central location on the screen, like the iPad; they simply pop into place." huh?

I like the iPad multi-browser thing slightly better than plain old tabs in 7 simply because uses more screen space for the page that way. Once you add the tabs and start bar you just cut off a fair chunk.

Sure you can auto-hide or make some stuff smaller, but then you don't have as good of an interface left. And I've found auto-hide on the start menu to be annoying so far on the touch screen.
