M.W.W. Post Windows 7 Edition

So I am now running Windows 7 and I have to say I am VERY impressed.

I'm no big fan of Microsoft, but I think they're on the right track with this one.

The window at the bottom of the screen is the window that pops up when you hover over an "icon group" for lack of a better way to say it.

When you hover over an item in the icon group, all other windows on the screen turn totally transparent except for their borders, so you are able to determine the position of all your windows and decide if you want to bring up the one you are hovering on. It's a really simple idea but SO effective.

Full review on Windows 7 coming soon.

Yes, that's a video of prototype. It's just there for "flavah".
