Can we just step back a moment, and consider what we are doing. As I write this reply, I am typing the content of this mail IN A NEW WINDOW. When I send the mail, the window disappears and I'm left with a large window, with folders in a FRAME down the left. As I read the new mails, I move from one window to another, automatically. It would drive me daft if there was only one window which changed content between my folders, my address book, my mails etc etc.

The point being, of course, that this is typical of most of my computing experience. Most (web) users expectations are founded on their experiences, and those experiences are based upon their computing. Frames? New windows? Most of us couldn't work without them.

Do those who proclaim annoyance at having 'new windows forced on them' apply the same thinking to mail, Dreamweaver (and all the other programs). Are they therefore doomed to a dreadful experience whilst computing?

I doubt it.
