Adreaus, please listen mate you are really getting into a fantasy that
is getting unreal!
I am on my G3 OSX Mac now, Macs do not do that at all, you can hold the
mouse down and then you get a choice to open in a new tab or window.
Some of your arguments are personal opinion, other like this Mac reason
to flaunt standards is not just weak, it is wrong.
You equate webpages with applications, they are not the same thing.
I am part of the Mac community and I state that your new window
assumption about Mac is incorrect.

2. On a Mac, if you open a new Word document when you've got
one open already, it offsets it so you can see both are
there! Which is also what happens on a Mac when you go to a
new browser window ...
The obvious answer is that everyone should switch to Macs!!
Funny that you mention the Mac behaviour. Mac does exactly what all of
us
are agreeing to be terrible behaviour of some websites: it constantly
opens
new windows all over the place. So how comes this behaviour is
accepted by
the Mac community who are known to openly support their interface, yet
it is
shunned in web development standards?
