Sometimes I wind up with two or more instances of IE8 running, and each instance has a few tabs open.
Is there a way to merge all the tabs from all the IE8 instances into just one instance of IE8, and close all the other IE8 instances?

I have IE 8.0.6001.18813 and mine restores both windows and tabs. Try the following:
- Open two windows of IE8 (one should already be open as you are reading this ).
- Open multiple tabs on each window using different sites for each tab.
- Open Task Manager (read the following prior to performing the step)
On the Application Tab right-click and end task on one of your IE windows.
(Make sure you do not click on the close dialog for IE. Just end task again.)This should kill both your IE windows.
- Reopen IE and you should get the restore session dialog.
- Click restore and both windows and tabs should be restored.
Try the "split browser extension".
You can split browser infinitely, as many as your RAM and your screen allow. Enjoy split and split to your heart's content!
Drag and drop is available to load links, bookmarks, and so on, into split browser. If you drag the toolbar of split browser, you can load the page in another split browser.
Split browsers can be closed by their closebox. "File" > "Close All Split Browser" closes all of them at once.

The feature you've requested is new with Internet Explorer 9. You will not get this with Internet Explorer 8. With IE9, simply click on the tab and drag it on to the other running instance of Internet Explorer 9 on your task bar.
