I personally implemented a tabbed panel as part of the Policy Workbench application of the Alvey DHSS Large Demonstrator System in 1986. This ran on the Xerox 1108 'Dandelion' workstation, which was an early GUI machine. As far as I know my implementation was the first tabbed panel on a bitmapped GUI display; it had all the features Adobe claimed and was thus clear prior art on all grounds to the Adobe patent. At the time of the dispute with Macromedia I wrote to both sides outlining the prior art, but received no reply from either.

I'd agree that the 'invention' was trivial. Simon Brooke 07:46, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
