Hey all you people out there insistent on making your links open in a new window…
STOP IT!
It’s my computer and my browser. If I want your link to open in a new window, I will use Shift-Click (for new window) or CMD/CTL-Click (for a new tab in non IE browsers).
Several _major_ product sites that I visit utilize a new window link in their header menu to access their forums. That is so web 0.5. Like I said, if I want a new window, I can do it myself.
Small informational popups (like shipping estimate or information) are nice in processes such as an ecommerce checkout so my main window stays in tune with the order process. These should always be user initiated and not automatic.
