Sociologists say that multitasking has shortened our attention spans and made us more easily distracted than ever. Apparently it's a losing battle.

With 4GB or more of memory in the standard Windows PC these days, it's possible to open dozens of windows at once. The challenge for Windows users is how to keep track of all those windows without losing focus. Our colleague from ZDNet US Ed Bott shows you how some new features in Windows 7 can help you multitask more effectively.

Topics: taskbar, windows 7, window, multitask, lose, distracted, shorten, zdnet, windows users, apparently

    I think you've been watching too many Harry Potter movies. There is no such thing as spells..

    xk, that is ludicrous!

    We both know that is not true. Linux actually had stakes in both companies and were once good mates until Linux stole Microsoft's girlfriend and M$ got pissed off and joined up with Apple to outcast Him. That is why Linux has the lowest uptake...
