the icon itself shows the progress of the download in relation to percent finished. As more and more applications are Win7 compliant, these things start getting innumerable in specificity. |
Oh yea, I love that one. It's awesome.
Still not a drastic change though. Also, boooo Mac! Boooo hisss!!! :tongue2 |

Yeah, that is one of the very early additions, but more and more apps are having other small things that start really adding up. So sure, they are "minor" in that they are only specific to that app, but the number of things such as this, as I said, is beginning to be innumerable. So the benefits are easily outweighing the habitual use of the old way.
As for the Mac thing, I use it at work only. I use Linux at home on the machine I use most. My laptop has Win7 though. I just hardly use it. I need a *nix based OS for work, so the Mac works well for that. |

You seem to be quite confused about the purpose of pinning to the taskbar. The intended use is for your most commonly used programs so you don't have to have a desktop shortcut. Also, the taskbar icons have contextual menus that allow you to launch things from that one icon that you do often with that application. It is still 1 icon, not many. |

yeah, one thing I noticed that was neat: steam actually allows me to choose from a list of recently played games. if I click a particular game, it still obviously has to log in to steam and everything, but it loads up the game automatically once steam finishes the log in process.
not anything to go crazy over, but I thought it was pretty cool. |

Yeah these types of features are becoming more and more prevalent. |
