Title: Windows Explorer Preview Pane Works Much Better Than In Vista

Vista had its own version of a preview pane in Windows Explorer, which didn't work that well and didn't work for all that many file types, but Windows 7 gets it right.

Win 7's version activates via a button on the top right of Windows Explorer. It pops out and displays files like music, videos, HTML docs, photos, WordPad docs (but not Word's .docx flies unless you have Word installed) directly in the pane without having to open a separate app. It's not quite as good as OS X Leopard's Quick Look, which does support PDF and Word and Office docs, but it's definitely better than Vista's preview.

Yea, i like the preview pane very much too.
It's a great option to listen music fast, or watching small videos.
Great!
