TotalFinder brings tabs to Mac OS X!
Aside from adding tabs, TotalFinder also has a few other neat tweaks. It can optionally clean up all those .ds_store files floating around your hard drive, and it can also show/hide invisible files. The coolest extra feature is a system-wide, customizable keyboard shortcut to pop up a new Finder window. Keyboard-only junkies who recoil at the thought of clicking the Finder dock icon to get a new window will love it. This feature is based on one of the developer's other projects, Visor, which offers system-wide Terminal access.

Now if only there something like this for Windows, I don't get why OS's can't have tabs in their file managers by default like some Linux systems, Ubuntu, Slax, Kubuntu, etc

use TotalCommander (ehmm.. the name TotalFinder remind me of..), FreeCommander, or qttabbar like blog-comments mention..
There are more than a dozen applications like this in windows..

This would be great if it didn't give error messages whenever you try to "open in finder" with any of the folders that you keep in the dock. And also if it didn't add a useless dock icon that I don't want there.

I don't get that error. Huh. I agree about the Dock icon, I didn't like it either. Fortunately, you can turn it off in TotalFinder's preferences.

And I thought I'd get first on bigging up Nautilus and its tabs.

You can already open a new window in Finder using keyboard shortcuts. Apple + N when on finder.

If you check out Visor, which is an add-on for Terminal, you'll find that they're referring to a global hotkey — one that works no matter what app you're in.

christian, qttabbar does what you want and much more. awesome.

Lovely, but useless if you want to move a file between tabs (which is the only reason I'd want this).
Likewise it's not possible to drag a folder into the tab area to create a new tab.

I imagine you should suggest it at their site. Also, it also implements Chrome's tap-ripping and does it a might bit faster, too; ripping takes all of half a second.
