It's not news: Microsoft already tested tabs in File Explorer in Windows 95

One of the most interesting features of Windows 11 22H2 is the ability to use File Explorer tabs, new released in October, but which was actually tested by Microsoft 30 years ago, in Windows 95. The discovery was pointed out by the Twitter user @wowstartsnow.

According to the user, Microsoft tested tabs in File Explorer while Windows 95 were still in development under the code name Chicago. Unfortunately, the source cannot say why the Redmond company did not make the resource available at the time.

We expect Microsoft to run other experiments soon on Windows, such as “Sets”, which was tested on Windows 10 internally and allowed grouping apps into tabs, but never reached Insider users for the same mystery.
