Comment 6 for bug 1069493

i believe burek's idea makes a lot of sense and is possibly the only way we could get over regular resource / GUI handle limitations on Windows when there are hundreds of tabs. the choice of words may not be the best (we indeed don't use MDI) but the idea remains correct as there is one new window created for each tab.

note however that certain features like taskbar thumbnails & Aero Peek won't work if we use these "placeholder window intentions". so if they are implemented, they should only activate when the amount of tabs is too high (eg > 100).
