Re: [WSG] thoughts of external links in new window?

[John Horner]

Almost too obvious to point out, but we have a web-based app which 
opens (full-sized) new windows sometimes, and in training, I often 
have people say "what happened to the Back button? It doesn't work!" 
-- if they're running a maximised Windows browser, a new window 
opening is often indistinguishable from navigation to another page. 
These are not the kind of users who will look down at the taskbar and 
notice a second window icon for IE and figure it out for themselves.
