	That's a bit harsh. Frankly, the use of tabs in the sense that you mean
in actual _editors_ is quite recent in Windows (at least in my
experience). People used tabs when going through an Options
Configuration window for various software.

	In most programs, having stuff in separate "buffers" was still referred
to as having them in separate "windows" (not physically, but virtually).
To switch, you'd go to the Windows menu, and select the one you wanted.
