there are pros and cons to both. The size should not matter because we 
can default the window size to something that does not need resizing.

The benefits of the tab/notebook are :

1) You can see which services have results and their hit counts 
immediately. Services that dont have any hits are not shown in the tabs. 
With combo you would have to iterate through each entry to see the 
equivalent

2) its only one click to switch service view (compared to two with combo)

3) it remembers state so you could page through results in All Files and 
then view Documents and then back to All Files and page from where you 
left off.
