Basic Vista 'windows' question \ suggestion

I'm using Vista Home Premium and was wondering if the following behavior is
intended.

If I have, for example, six different instances of Internet Explorer 7
minimized (and not one instance with six different sites) I see one
minimized 'icon' on the toolbar. This 'icon' reads 6 Internet Explorer. If
I place the mouse cursor over this 'icon' I see six (actually less)
miniature stacked images of IE7. So far so good? If I single click on that
icon in the toolbar, I'll see the titles of each web site.

If I keep the mouse over one particular Title, I'll see a miniature image of
the site in question.

What I would like to see is miniature side by side images of all the web
pages when I place the cursor over the 'icon' on the toolbar instead of the
stacked image or the option to choose. Sorry if I use the wrong terminology
to describe things. Thanks, DH

Sorry, can't do that, the current implementation is as far as it goes.

The best thing for you to do is to go and write your OWN Operating System.

But then, you won't have anything to whinge about!!

MIck, sorry, I don't have the time to write my own OS but if you write one,
I'll be glad to test it for free.

I'll have another glass of wine.
