Now that could be a separate task bar applet altogether. Imagine those of us 
using high res modes like 1280x or 1600x who could get a series of 128x100 or 
160x120 thumbnails of each task's window :). That would be pretty neat 
because you wouldn't at that point even need to read labels or glance at 
icons. You could see for yourself where your editor task was, or your 
spreadsheet etc. Have it smooth scroll through the thumbnails, sort of like 
OS/X (don't use it but colleague showed me it's funky task bar) in that the 
thumbnail in the center could enlarge for easier viewing. 

Sean.
