I don't want to commit to a date that I can't keep... but its still going.</p> <p>To eHans: Not sure what you mean about a compensation fight with MS... do you mean related to NetCaptor/tabbed browsing, or phishing? I'd certainly love to be compensated for the innovation I've produced, but current IP regs don't necessarily require that.</p> To Martin: NetCaptor 8.0 is not dead, though its moving a little slower than it would if I wasn’t involved in phishing.

I am excited to see what comes out of it and aso have enjoyed the netcaptor software.</p> <p>I do want to point out though that the first commercial product displaying tabbed browsing that I am aware of was a PlaNET Technology product released in later 97 after IE4 was released. However the first more commercial success was KatieSoft which also displayed tabbed and split level windows. There are a few others I can think of as well leading into mid 98... not to take away anything though, as I have said, yours has certainly endured longer than other Windows client based apps.</p> Congrats!

They were big in late 97... though they didn't have tabs. They had a links folder system that sorta used tabs, but you didn't have mulitple independent browser windows.</p> <p>As for Katiesoft... they never had tabs. The big draw for Katiesoft was that you could have up to 4 browsers in 4 different panes, like window panes. No tabs though. </p> Ben - I’ve never heard of the PlaNET browser… perhaps you are thinking of NeoPlanet? They were big in late 97… though they didn’t have tabs.
