This is exactly why there is a Go button. I frequently re-use tabs to check pages, or modify a URL i copied from a page before going to it. (and even though i know of Enter activation, i still frequently click it anyway) Without a Go, it would be horrible, and it is exactly why i hate the new IE7 (among other things). IE6 interface was fine, why did they ruin it with their Vista GUI nonsense?
