Do you wish to disable the tab preview in Windows 7 when mousing over the Internet Explorer 8 icon on the taskbar when you have more than one tab open? Well there is a setting to change that which seems obvious in hindsight.
Open IE8 and click on Tools, then Internet Optioons. On the first screen there should be a Tabs section – click on Settings. In here simply untick the box next to “Show previews for individual tabs in the taskbar” and then restart IE8. Now you won’t be shown a list of all the open tabs but instead the last active one just like it does in Vista.
So Apple have ALREADY released an ad trying to make fun of Windows 7. Seriously, Apple, you need to get over this strange insecurity you and your users have about anything defined as “Not Apple”.
I’m really enjoying the differences in Windows 7 so far and I’m sure I’ll come across a couple things that I will definitely not like but that’s what change is all about. When I first started using Vista I didn’t really think there were sufficient enhancements to justify an upgrade – that is to say until I tried to use XP at work and noticed all the small extras which I took for granted in Vista were missing. I’m sure the same will probably ring true for Windows 7 – I already can’t do without the Zune controls straight off the taskbar!
I know I have a pretty obvious preference for Microsoft, but I’m not a blind follower – just check out this terrible Launch Party ad campaign Microsoft thought was a good idea.
