Check out PSMTabBar. Turns a standard NSTabView into a "Safari-

Wow, that's great.
In reference to what to say to the Windows programmers, I'll give them
the benefit of the doubt (assuming they aren't just harassing David
for the sheer fun of it) that they just want to clean up what may be a
clutter of multiple documents that show up on screen in the current
version of the Mac implementation of their app. (I have no idea what
the app is or does, so I'll presume this to be the case.) In which
case they're probably just asking for the entirely reasonable request
to consolidate the document windows. (I'll even grant them that
relying and Exposé and/or Spaces isn't an elegant solution, as was the
case with Safari before tabs.)
Entirely doable via several methods without having to have any foreign
Windows GUI ideas invade a nice Cocoa app.
