    As I have discussed elsewhere, previously, there is less necessity to add certain software, plug-ins, utilities & such w/ Windows8. Between it & what is or will be current browsers (like IE10) a lot, that wasn't, native, now is. In many cases things, that act as apps, are seemingly redundant...

    Mozilla and Google say they are building Windows 8-enabled browsers, and Opera Software is looking into the possibility, too. Still, it may not be as easy as with previous Windows operating systems thanks to Microsoft's new "Metro" user interface. Link Removed

    Windows 7 Restart browsers where I left off

    When you reboot, you lose all the tabs in browsers that were left open. I find that I frequently would like to restart where I left off. It would be easier to close tabs I don't want to reopen before shutting down than trying to remember the tabs I want to reopen.
