E7: The Windows 7 Taskbar | |
|
||
| Time: 06:52 EST/11:52 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

We were very excited to unveil elements of the Windows 7 desktop at this years Professional Developers Conference (as seen in the Welcome to the Windows 7 Desktop session, among others). In previous posts (User Interface: Starting, Launching, and Switching and Follow-up: Starting, Launching, and Switching) we looked at the history, anatomy and areas for improvement of the taskbar. In this post, we will continue the conversation. Dont let looks fool you thoughthe UI may feel new to Windows for some of you or old hat for some of you, but rest assured it represents a careful evolution that strives to address customer feedback while retaining its familiar Windows DNA. It was 23 years ago on November 20, 1985 when Windows first shipped. As it just so happens, this first Microsoft graphical shell actually holds relevance to this post as it surfaced one of the industrys first taskbar-like concepts. | ||
