An example: Tab session saving. You *can* do it. But all the time you need to confirm a dialog and check here a checkbox for saving the session. You even could check a checkbox that the dialog should not come up and ask you again about the setting. But guess what happens? Selecting the checkbox to not display the dialog _and_ the checkbox to save the session does not end in a persistent setting that tabbing sessions are saved all the time. It results in the setting that sessions are not saved at all! Also, IE is not able to recover the last session after a crash. Good approach, bad implementation. Microsoft.
