@KevinH - I assumed the Mac had some fancier way of handling it.

FWIW: I think I already have Windows behaving as you describe via the use of the 7+ Taskbar Tweaker (free). But as you can see from the attached screen shot its not easy to see at a glance (without hovering the mouse) how many and which documents are open. But IMO it's better than having multiple copies of the same icon on the taskbar.

In case anyone's interested, I've also attached a screen shot of Word with DOCX versions of the same documents open in a couple of tabs via Office Tabs (not free).

Nothing is stacked or tabbed so their really is no advantage to how the Mac does it at all, it just works around the Mac not liking multiple versions of the same gui program running at the same time.
