Windows 7 introduces a whole bunch of cool features, as I've mentioned here previously. Sometimes the simplest ones are the most effective, however, and there's nothing simpler or more effective than the in-taskbar progress indicator. If you haven't seen this already, when you copy a file in Windows Explorer, download a file using IE, or perform any of a number of similar actions that might take a while to complete, the progress information is displayed in the task bar icon for that application.
