Whoever decided to implement the mouse-over thumbnail preview for open apps on Taskbar needs to a whack to the head with a rolled up newspaper. It's incredibly aggravating having all these small windows popup when you're busy. Most times I end up clicking on something I didn't want just because the mouse cursor got near the Taskbar.
I love the example of the Task View to show that they really don't use their own darn things. Since 2018 it has been incredibly buggy. Reproducibly even.
