open in new window

When I click on a web address in a window, it comes up in the same window. I
would prefer it come up in it's own "new" window. How do I change the
settings so it does this?
example:
"Read the article here:
http://www.microsoft.com"

I click it and lose the original page and have to use the back button to get
to where I started. I hate that.

One option would be to get FireFox and start to enjoy tabbed
browsing.

Right-click on the link, choose "Open in New Window"
