Long Zheng: Ever since the Windows 7 demo with Steven Sinofsky and Julie-Larson Green at PDC 2008 where they showed off the new śsuperbarť taskbar,
theres been a lot of questions about how the new taskbar will work, customized or tweaked.
Unfortunately because the pre-beta
build did not contain the new taskbar, its been hard to answer those questions. Fortunately I met up with Chaitanya Sareen today who took me through a
better tour of the new taskbar on one of the demo machines with the new build. Heres a few facts about the new taskbar.

31.10.2008Windows 7: Measuring the "superbar"
One of the new things that anyone would notice immediately in Windows 7 is the new Taskbar. Microsoft internally calls it 'Superbar'. The
Windows Taskbar has come a long way since Windows 95 was released. With the help of the Taskbar, it becomes easier to see what are the programs
currently running, switching between applications and also to access your favorites using the Quick Launch. Image Courtesy: Windows 7 Blog For
many, Windows 7's Superbar looks bigger than the Windows Vista's Taskbar. Long Zheng has taken steps to prove that, after all the Superbar is
not that big. Long has found that the Windows Start button is actually shrunk by about 8 pixels.

21.11.2008Giz Explains: Why the Windows 7 Taskbar Beats Mac OS X's Dock
Matt Buchanan: The Windows 7 taskbar is the most important Windows UI change since Windows 95, and it will dramatically change the way you use
Windows. And it's better than the Mac's Dock.
That's because the "superbar"as the taskbar is known by developersjerks
taskbar functionality in a new direction. It's no longer merely a window managerjust a place to manage open windows and by proxy, open applications.
It's now a bona fide application launcher. More than that, it blends the two in ways that will remind many of the OS X Dockapps that are running and
those that aren't can live together. True, you've been able to launch apps from the Windows taskbar's Quick Launch ghetto for ages, but that's
been demolished so that Microsoft could completely and seamlessly integrate the launching of new apps and the managing of running ones.

21.01.2009The New Taskbar in Windows 7
As we have noticed with the Windows 7 presentation at D6, Microsoft is putting in some efforts to make an update to the aging design of the taskbar,
contrary to the belief that they are going to make something completely new. The supposedly new name of the taskbar is the "Superbar." Long Zheng
has pointed out some of the new things:
"The first being the taskbar is higher than usual, but not as big as double-height. If I were to
guess, I'd say its somewhere around 1.75x-high. In the left corner, the Windows orb remains wedged "on top" of the taskbar - sticking its head out
a little - instead of in the center like it is today in Vista.
The taskbar also appears 'divided' into sections by variations in the
color (dark, gray, lighter) to indicate the different areas. Speaking of which, if you look at the far right corner, you'd notice that the tray
(icons & clock) is not touching the edge of the screen, and there's a small lighter gap. I have no explanation for this, but is well worth keeping an
eye on."
