The "Aero Peek" (ie min size needed to ident a window as the one you want) already exists along with the "iconized" tile in WinStep Extreme. Jorge Coelho has come out with the individual picture (thumb) thing as well in WSX 8.11 beta which is running on my desktop right now. :)

I'm using Vista 32 Home Premium. Just poining out how WSX has tremendous power and development potential.

It doesn't have to be an either/or situation, Philly. I have both and they live quite nicely together. If I had to give up on one, I;m not sure what I'd do because I like WB and WSX so much.

its a nice idea but when is microsoft gonna come up with something new and innovative. they always have six versions of there os so why not an experimental one with something totally different then the rest. no taskbar, just a big orb in the middle of the desktop that commands everything, changes color like green when ok, red with virus or tempature,battery critic.shows how many emails... and when hoverd+press windows logo on keyboard the startmenu in the orb appears. pictures video and should be browsed like the cairo shell or like cooliris in firefox. that with objectdock and youve got a killer os in my opinion.
