It always seems a good idea to me that links off a site should open a new
window.
In Internet Explorer it's not a terrible idea as opening a link a new
window is an alien concept to many users and involves right-clicking and
choosing the option.
However, in the newer browsers which support tabs (like Firefox) then
opening a new tab with a middle-click is a much more natural browsing
process and auto-opening a new window becomes annoying when you have
mentally set aside single-click as "this tab" and middle-click as "new tab".
