A pity, not so much (to me) regarding the tabs per se, but what it demonstrates about the general sclerosis in desktop OSs. It's hardly the first time Microsoft has had to bail on innovation (WinFS comes to mind). In use Windows feels like a patchwork of UI bits from different eras, and this is clearly not going to change in the foreseeable future.
