aero-peektaskbarvideowindows
Let's say I have a video running in an application. If I hover my mouse over the taskbar, it shows a little popup windows that diplays the video (aero peek). Sometimes I'm running a maximized window and I want to have this little screen always popped up.
(Kind've like when your using the TV Guide menu, you still see a little clip of the video)
Peek gives you the power of X-ray vision, so you can peer past all your open windows straight to the Windows 7 desktop. Simply point to the right edge of the taskbar—and watch open windows instantly turn transparent, revealing all your hidden icons and gadgets.
So far so good, and here is where it gets 'useful'
To quickly reveal a buried window, point to its taskbar thumbnail. Now only that window shows on the desktop.

Off Topic: if you want to pep up Aero Peek a little bit, have a look at T3Desk, a slick, 3D window manager with Aero Peek support.
Hover a specific thumbnail, and Aero Peek kicks in to display the program's shrunken 3D view.
Kudos to Lee @ downloadsquad.com for this find.
T3Desk is freeware.
