Well, from a designer's perspective, sometimes it's cool to open windows in certain locations of the screen. What Netscape (or AOL, which is the biggest reason why Netscape $ucks now!) did is make everything work within window tabs. In that case, all windows created are opened into a new tab, and it doesn't follow the location attributes. Here's an example: http://www.uta.edu/student_orgs/billiardsteam/

In other browsers (including NS7), the window opens dead center (regardless of resolution) and it looks like everything is sitting within the billiards table. In NS8, it opens to a full blown-out window, and the material is stretched across the screen.
(I guess they're nonchalantly informing us to start learning and using Flash for our designs. )

Plus, it has a few tabs at the top that you can change around, but you can't permanently remove the main one.
