Start up VS 2005.
 
Type Ctrl-Alt-R.

Maybe I'm the last to notice it, but I love this feature…

It’s about: personalization with Themes A rich set of extensions such as synchronized bookmarks (who uses one computer?), dynamic stylesheet editor, customized tabbing, fine control on how new links are spawned, etc. Lots of people push this far further than I do, ala Grease Monkey and other advanced extensions. Speed! Frequent updates People who use IE are absolute dinosaurs. Sure, IE7 will probably...

Don Box points out the neat tabbed browsing support in Visual Studio 2005. It’s certainly way better
