hey! Thanks Ashish as I actually wasn't aware that they released new version as I don't check their site very frequently. I'm going to download it and test myself.

Yeah thanks for this notice. I'm using ver. 1.0.7 and get frequent hang-ups after coming out of sleep in Windows XP. Not me, the computer 

It's very good for multiple window people like me, I just counted that I have 18 tabs open so far. But this is normal for anyone involved in webmastery, email,  affilate marketing etc. It's amazing it took Microsoft so long to get into multiple-tabbed browsing. New windows drive me crazy since I have to alt-tab around many applications to try and find the browser instance I want.

The favicon icon of sites really helps in this case.

nice site, Andy! I wasn't aware of it, I'm going to add it to Pharos as think it would be useful to many webmasters. (BTW I've generate new favicon for WKey).
