It looks awesome especially its taskbar! Windows Seven’s taskbar is not just the normal one that we can see in Windows XP and Vista. Many people call it the “Superbar” because of its fresh new look and awesome features! The “Superbar” has taken the Windows taskbar to the next level since its launch in Windows 95.

One of the new features of the Superbar is it uses large icons instead of showing text in application buttons. Previous Windows versions used to show icon as well as text in all application’s taskbar buttons.

This is how the Superbar looks like:
