When you have a large number of windows open for a program, the open windows for that program are
displayed as a list. We’ve enhanced this list view by
adding the ability to peek at a highlighted window or
even close a window directly from the list.
Programs use the new taskbar to provide more infor-
mation in more intuitive ways. For example, you can see
progress bars on a taskbar icon, so that you can stay
aware of progress without keeping the window visible.
Thumbnail overflow list
supports closing windows.
