Windows 7 offers a new way of controlling your desktop, managing your windows, and launching applications. The Windows 7 Taskbar is a new application-launching and window-switching mechanism that consolidates the functionalities from previous Windows OS Desktop mechanisms such as Quick Launch, Recent Documents, Notification area icons, desktop shortcuts, and running application windows. We first introduced Windows 7 Taskbar during PDC 2008 and it was available for user to try in the Windows 7 Beta release. We received a lot of great feedback from you about Windows 7 beta. Now you are welcome to join Ben Betz and Robert Jarrett in this video as they cover a few changes we made to Taskbar functionality in order to incorporate your feedback.
