I Just Fell In Love with the Windows 7 Taskbar Thing

As many of you know, Win7 has the cool new taskbar thing that groups application windows (if you want it to) and provides previews of those windows when you hover over the taskbar icon.  That is pretty cool.  But with Internet Explorer, you get this cool effect when you are downloading a file...

What’s going on?  Well, the IE icon background fills with green as a download progress indicator.  Now that is rich, chewy UI goodness!

I'm with you there.  It is the best taskbar implementation so far on windows, mac or linux.  I also like the subtle hint that there are multiple windows open (on both icons in your example).
