Windows 7 Taskbar Curiosity


Recommended Posts

I haven't tested Windows 7 yet, as im waiting for the RTM version. I was wondering what Aero Peek (little thumbnail previews) looks like with two IE browser Windows open, and one has say 3 tabs open, when you hover over the IE icon in the taskbar? Only reason I ask is that most if not all screenshots show IE via Aero Peek with one browser window open and 4 tabs open. Is there say a seperator line so you know which browser window is which.

Weird thread I know, but i was wondering :D

Here's a screenshot.

One instance of IE just has one tab open- Google.

The other instance of IE has three- Google, Neowin, CNN.

As you can see by the thumbnail preview, it doesn't really distinguish the difference between instances of IE. At least on my machine. (RC build 7100) The "top" google" is the first instance of IE, and the last 3 previews (thumbnails) are the other instance of IE (with the 3 tabs open)

Thanks for the screenshot, its a shame they didn't really address this scenario, i guess they could have put a seperator in between to easiy distinguish the two browser windows.

Well with IE, they decided to treat each Tab as a different window thumbnail, rather than windows as windows, if you get what I mean.
