Hi Øivind,

there will never be a study that makes everyone say "Oh right, we should
do it like they say". There seem to exist widely accepted and
scientifically well-founded standards how user interfaces should look
like. But decisions like "spatial or browser mode" should be take rather
 pragmatically.

If the majority wants browser mode, let's do it like that. Jeff is
right: Advanced users know how to switch to spatial mode.

Cheers,
Max
