My Favorite First Windows 7 Discovery

I really like it when a new feature just presents itself in the most intuitive possible way.  That usually means it just works.  One such feature I’m sure you’ll discovery before too long is the new task bar progress indications for large file copy or move operations.

In the picture at right you’ll see that I am copying a large number of files and we are about forty five percent complete.  I love that.  Now I can kick off a large copy, minimize the file Explorer and status window, and go about my business using other applications like email or a web browser.  I can glance at my task bar and see the progress visually as indicted in this example by the green neon background filling in behind the Explorer library icon.  Very very kewl stuff.  Gotta love that one.  Enjoy.
