Microsoft Windows Team's ChaitanyaSareen, wrote an article in the development blog on the 20th, which details some of the information on Microsoft's next-generation operating system Windows 7 taskbar. we see a revolutionary new Windows taskbar.

1.RefreshedLook

new design, enabled large icons, with the Mac Dock looks about the same size. It is Chaitanya said that this design is mainly to improve the "touch" operation experience. Well, after all, if you are a little bigger, the finger operation will be easier. Personally, I don't really like the taskbar taking up too much space. Now the notebook screen is full of widescreen, originally vertical. viewing area is small, the taskbar is now a full accounting.

2.Pinning

thumbtack can be put onto a running program in the taskbar, you can directly in the task Inside the column, you can see the current status of the program. It is like you are doing a copy operation. The task bar will directly see the current progress. This function is still very solid. A.

3.Unification

unity. This time, Microsoft will be combined with quick start with a program which has been running the taskbar and you change the width of the Quick Launch bar in the future, is not it I think there can also put something else? Microsoft says the program starts with a switch an already running program in a way is the same, here unify them up.

4.Interactive, GroupedThumbnails

interactive package thumbnail. this compares to Windows7 concerned friends should know how it is, when you run the same program multiple, such as IE, open the window too much will automatically become a group later, In the taskbar of Windows 7, the grouped program can also see the thumbnails. Unlike Vista, only a single program can see the thumbnails. But what about this function when there are too many startup programs? Thumbnails are also unavailable when more than 20 IE windows are open.
