MSN Tabs for IE, but no middle mouse click!

Well, the MSN team has added tabs to IE (get it at http://desktop.msn.com/).  But it's not a perfect match.  For one thing, the tabs bar seems to disappear and then reappear when you hit the new tab button.  That's a minor inconvinience.

But the big problem is that it doesn't support the middle mouse button.  Clicking the middle button is ingrained in my usage patterns now, and I am shocked that the MSN tabs doesn't support it.  And a middle click on the tab should close the tab.

So, get middle mouse button support for tabs, load Trixie, http://www.bhelpuri.net/Trixie/Trixie.htm,  (as a replacement for Greasemonkey) and then I am happy to use IE again.  Oh yeah, image zoom would be nice.

Addendum: And get rid of MSN Search.  Google still has it beat.  I was trying to find the URL for Trixie.  The search results from MSN were not very helpful.  The search result for Google returns the URL I wanted as the top result.
