Jump lists in Windows 7 beta

Jump lists replace the default right-click context menu in the new taskbar.
You can also access them by left-clicking and dragging up in a kind of “swooshing” motion. This is particularly useful if you’re running Windows 7 on a one-button MacBook.

Another place where you can “swoosh” (as Tim Sneath like to call it and not an official Microsoft term), is the IE 8 address bar, where the downward drag gesture brings up an expanded list containing the browser history, favorites and similar entries. The slower you drag, the cooler the animation!
