It is not that I see no value in it.  But tabs are just the same behavior 
that e.g. windows already has: a task bar.  In fact, XP will even group the 
browser windows all together if they can't be displayed side by side.  At 
that point the only difference between what windows has and tabs is one is 
at the top, the other at the bottom.

But perhaps I misunderstood and you mean the taskbar/tab behavior in 
general.  In that case, yea sure.  Something like that could certainly be 
useful.
