    G'Day All,

    If I have multiple documents open in Word, I point to see Previews and I right-click a Preview - I get a familiar Menu (Restore/Move/Size/Maximize/Minimize etc) with options greyed out depending on the current status of that particular Document window.

    If I have multiple Tabs open in IE8, I point to see Previews and I right-click a Preview - I BRIEFLY get the same familiar Menu - then the Previews and the Menu Collapse.

    1. Is this an IE8 bug, or do I need to change some setup?

    2. In the case of Word, might it not be nice to see an extra item - Minimise all - to minimise all documents regardless of their current state?

    1) Yes, a bug. Some Video drivers are showing this behavior.

    2) Not a feature of Win 7. 7 is 'feature complete' in the RC. You will have to wait for the next version to add taskbar features.

    Hi Pat

    You can also hover over an IE8 tab preview and simply click the Red X to close that tab.

    2. In the case of Word, might it not be nice to see an extra item - Minimise all - to minimise all documents regardless of their current state?
    You can see the Minimize All/Maximize All menu items by Pressing SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK on the Word Taskbar Icon.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank You for testing Windows 7
