As usual Microsoft provides at least 3 ways of doing everything, and as usual, it’s easy, satisfying and fun to learn about these new features simply by exploring on your own. To get the most from this new way of working embrace the Winkey +Tab technique, and use Flip 3-D to cycle through a preview of each open program. If you hover over a program icon which has open files then you can see a preview, this is designed to save time when searching for one of your many open documents. When you click on the this icon up comes a Jump List confirming that there are indeed 3 Microsoft Word files in use, in this example: Tips, Shopping now and Finance. Furthermore, you can just about make out 3 shadows to the right of the Word icon. Observe in the screenshot below how the Word for Windows icon appears to be glowing, this is because the taskbar is trying to tell us that this program has open files. Windows 7’s new taskbar philosophy is based around the program icon, it helps to think of any individual documents as being combined with that main icon. Some people hanker for the control of manual gear selection, while others accept the efficiency of automatic changes. Perhaps the change is like switching from a car with a shift change gearbox to an automatic. The word radical maybe a bit strong, but the Windows 7 taskbar clearly exhibits different behaviour when accessing programs compared with Vista or XP.
Compared to Vista, the Windows 7 Taskbar brings a different look and feel to handling programs.
