A taste of Vista: Visual Task tips
16May2006 Filed under: Ramblings Author: Joel
A little taster of things to came in the new Windows Vista and a touch of what MAC users have enjoyed for a while.
Visual Task Tips display a small thumbnail preview of each program running in your task bar. Simply roll over any program in your task bar and you get a great looking screen shot of that application.
Completely useless, but pretty cool 
Who is Developing with Style?
My name is Joel Moss, a web developer and all round nice guy, living in Manchester, England. I am currently working full time for ShermansTravel.com, but I fill whatever spare time I have with lots of good and wholesome "stuff"! Like developing my own ideas; such as Tooum, contributing to the excellent CakePHP framework, and doing more work for ShermansTravel.
So this is my blog - my soap box! Here I attempt to share my likes, my dislikes, and my opinions. As well as providing some occasional respite from the daily crap we all endure. Enjoy ;)
Hey, if you want to reach me, i'm available via email:joel[at]developwithstyle[dot]com, and AIM:joelkmoss.
