    I was just curious about something. In IE8 with the W7 RC, if IE has multiple tabs open, you can mouse over the IE icon in the new taskbar, and see preview panes of each tab (as well as each window open in IE if you have multiple windows open)

    Is it possible to do this with Chrome or Firefox as well? It seems only to show multiple preview panes if you have multiple windows open and it won't preview the multiple tabs in these 2 browsers. Is there a way it can or is this an issue that Google/Mozilla need to add to the browsers down the road?

    No, only IE. Since its bult into W7, you get that capability. But not with FF or Chrome...For it to be like that in other browsers, youd need to open several windows instead of tabs. :(

    Well actually, this feature's available for any app, the developers just have to update their apps to activate this feature. :)
