IE7 Tip: Show me those tabs!

Do you know what this strange looking button does that sits next to your tabs in IE7? Ah smarty pants read the title - yes it will show you all thumbnails of all your open tabs on a separate page. This comes in very handy all the time while we peruse through twenty or more opened tabs. A friend was watching us work and she was all like wow how did you do that. And I was all like watch... And I clicked the good click on the magic box and up popped all of my tabs.

So this little documented and HIGHLY recommended button sits to the left of your tabs. It looks like 4 small rectangles in a mini-tab. Do you know what it does?? It gives you an Aero-esque albeit flattened but still functional (and uses MUCH less memory). It shows thumbnails of all of your open tabs and lets you select where you want to go.
