Tabbed Finder revisited

Ok, so I can't let this go. So many of you have responded to my last post on the subject that I've been inspired to think about it a little more. What I was thinking of was more akin to multiple desktops, as some of you have pointed out. When we use a tabbed strategy in a Filemaker Pro solution, the idea is to group similar pieces of information. For example, in a "Students" database, one tab might display a screen with demographic data (age, height, weight, eye color, etc.) while another lists school-specific data (class, homeroom teacher, schedule, etc.). More fun after the jump.

My thought was to "group" similar processes or projects. One tab is my current iMovie project and related files. Another is the webpage I'm referencing, and so on. Again, the more I think about it the more it seems like multiple desktops, which a few of you pointed out.

A few of you also mentioned tabbed Finder windows. Interesting idea. Even with the advantage of the side bar, sometimes the two (or more) folders I'm currently working with are pretty far away.  Sure, I could temporarily place one of the folders into the sidebar, but imagine spring loaded tabs, one representing each folder.

Again, I could just be crazy. This is what spending a day using Internet Explorer does to you.
