minimize - hover feature

[Guest]

hi - impressed with Aero but have found a few inconsistancies when minimising
windows:
When you minimise a windows then hover over the minimised item in the task
bar it only shows a miniture version of the window as when of it was
minimised. The task switcher and the 3d task switcher _do_ update the
content though. Are there plans to at least force an update to the minature
version in the task bar when hovering over it?

On mine when I hover over the button in taskbar the image I get is real time.
i.e. if I have movie playing in that IE window, that movie is playing in the
"miniature" as well.

So far, other apps seem to be the same except 3d apps, which dont seem to
like being minimized at all.

I think what the OP is referring to is the fact that if you MINIMIZE the
window and then hover over it in the task bar, it does NOT update. As you
mentioned it will update while the window is displayed. I think this should
be bugged, if not already.

exactly - when minimised it should at least update the image - dynamically
updating if you hover would be a bonus like in Flip3d etc.
