Most requested IE featuers

According to Ithis post at IEblog, the most requested features for IE are:
# Tabbed browsing (far and away the most requested UI feature)
# Richer popup blocking (more than what’s in XPSP2)
# Better printing (don’t chop off the right inch of the page, etc)
# Richer, easier Favorites
# FavIcon fixed and used in relevant places in the UI
# Inline search (search field in the IE chrome)
# Richer Find dialog and functionality
# Find as you type
# Page Zoom
# Better keyboard support
# Roaming of settings / favorites / history
# Skins / Themes
# Mouse gestures
# Richer Download Manager functionality
# Better ability to delete browsing history / cookies / autocomplete / forms data
# Richer (and better documented) UI extensibility for toolbars, menus, right-click menus, etc.
So, in other words, people are asking for FireFox? Cause, if memory serves me well, FF handles most of that list now (not sure about page zoom).
Firefox zooming info:
Ctrl & + (or mousewheel down) increases text size
Ctrl & - (or mousewheel up) decreases text size
Operates in much the same way as Opera’s zooming works. It is so incredibly sad that the vast majority of those online have absolutely NO idea that i) there are alternatives to IE and OL and Office and ii) those alternatives can be SO SO much better.
