Windows 7 UI: Start Menu, Taskband, Quick Launch, Deskbands, Notification Area

Even as early as Windows 7 Milestone 1 6.1.6519.1, Microsoft hinted at the changes yet to be implemented in terms of the operating system's graphical user interface. Having reached Milestone 3 Build 6780, Windows 7 continues to sport the Windows Vista specific look and feel but, at the same time, the promise is that the graphical user interface of the next iteration of the Windows client will move past what is available today. In fact, the Redmond giant is cooking changes across the table in regard to both visual style and functionality for a number of aspects of the graphical user interface including the Start Menu, Taskband, Quick Launch, Deskbands, and Notification Area.

The sneak peek Microsoft offered of Windows 7 at the end of May 2008, courtesy of Julie Larson-Green, Corporate Vice President, Windows Experience Program Management, along with the leaked version of Windows 7 M1, delivered a taste, albeit inconsistent, of the modifications coming to the user interface. As far as the software company is concerned, a great deal of focus will be placed on redesigning the Taskbar. In this context, Chaitanya Sareen, a senior program manager on the Core User Experience team, managing not to give any specific detail, promised that the Windows 7 UI would evolve, starting with area “housing” components such as Start Menu, Taskband, Quick Launch, Deskbands, and Notifications.
