Yet more dumbing down for windows :S

I'm not sure how being able to restore research and related tabs along with a document is dumbing down? It's basically just an advanced autosave feature, and I doubt that you'd advocate removing autosave from Office, would you?

Have to say I quite like that idea, as long as it's not too intrusive. I suspect my use case for it would be minimal, but I know a lot of people who could make use. And if they ever add it to Visual Studio....

Going back to the taskbar of old (where multiple documents open in word, for example, each had their own icon)?

This could be really handy, browser-agnostic internet synchronisation (so you also get a chrome/firefox/whatever window up with all the tabs of research you had open) would make it better
