Windows 7 Taskbar: Incorporating Your Beta Feedback into RC

Windows 7 offers a new way of controlling your desktop, managing your windows, and launching applications. The Windows 7 Taskbar is a new application-launching and window-switching mechanism that consolidates the functionalities from previous Windows OS Desktop mechanisms such as Quick Launch, Recent Documents, Notification area icons, desktop shortcuts, and running application windows.
This is yet another video in the Windows 7 Taskbar series. This video focuses on the advanced functionalities that the Windows 7 Taskbar offers, such as Thumbnail Overview, AeroPeek, overriding the default Thumbnail icon, and surfacing tabs and documents from a Multi Tab or Documents Interface (such as IE8). Join Ben Betz and Robert Jarrett as they dive deep into the Taskbar API to explain exactly how to integrate your applications with the Windows 7 Taskbar Thumbnail and AeroPeek functionality.

I really like the new features and can even almost get around the lack of multi monitor support by running it on the left side of my wide screen monitor, but I can't understand the lack of functionality to move the clock and start button. Why can't I just flip the thing around and put the start button on the bottom and the clock on the top when it is docked to either the left or the right? While I love the new stuff, it always seems like it is 80% of the way there.
Great overview guys
Shame Rob couldn't have hosted it, though; he actually knew what he was talking about and could at least speak coherently.

Wow I'm surprised you don't always provide a live real-time view of windows. In fact, I figured that under the new DWM, the windows were rendering all the time, minimized or not. That's why I never understood why animations in a website, for example, stop working in the thumbnail ... but only if the window is minimized. For example, my browser could be obscured (but not minimized) and the unseen animations on the website still show live (with animation) in the thumbnail. Why not Let me keep that even when minimized?
