  Windows 7 promises fixes for Vista taskbar screw-ups
Time: 23:58 EST/04:58 GMT | News Source: APC Mag | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft has promised that Windows 7 will fix two minor but highly annoying features of Vista: the near-invisible 'shut down' menu and the overcrowded taskbar.

As Microsoft readies for the first widespread distribution of Windows 7 at two key conferences later this year, details of planned changes to the software continue to emerge. And while the issue of how much Windows 7 needs to be differentiated from Vista remains in the air, Microsoft has committed to making some interface changes that will firmly differentiate the new Windows from its predecessor.

One of the more obvious (and annoying) changes to the Start menu in Vista was burying the options for shutdown and restart in a tiny fly-out menu, while making the sleep button much more prominent. In the latest post on the Engineering Windows 7 blog , Microsoft core user experience program manager Chaitanya Sareen effectively admits that this plan backfired and confused users.
