    New Windows 7 leak

    http://windows7center.com/windows-7-...ina/?nggpage=2

    Seems someone went to a lot of effort considering the official beta is out soon?

    Not sure what to make of the new taskbar yet, looks a bit.....strange. Some interesting screenshots there.

    keep it legal please

    I hope you toggle the taskbar's transparency, it's a bit chunky but it does look practical from what i've seen.

    I know it's very early days still, but I hope the UI gets more work done, and surely the WEI score won't still be capped to 5.9?

    It's fat, I hate major UI changes... unless they're actually useful or cool.

    No it won't be, at least not for us. We will still use super pi/3d marks etc for comparing systems. Only noobs would find it useful for deciding which PC to get in PC World.

    Re: New Windows 7 leak

    Windows 7 on my PC
    been using it about 3 hours now, it's a LOT more responsive than Vista and just 'works' haven't had any issues at all yet, and it's a pre-beta install..
    looking good for Windows 7?

    REALLY dislike the mystery meat syndrome at the bottom.

    What kind of muppet thinks omg no, its too scary having words next to the icons of the running apps?!

    If i wanted that level of stupidity i'd run a Mac!

    Is the idea that you will just windowskey + T through every instance?

    You can turn that on and off it seems, from the first post's link it shows the taskbar options in one of the screenshots (hide icon labels)

    Re: New Windows 7 leak

    phew that honestly worried me for a second.... Next time i look at a screenshot of pre-release candidate software, and make a silly assumption that just makes me look stupid to anyone who's remotely informed, i shall write an article for Bit-Tech where that kinda stuff belongs..... (not that i'm bitter)

    Actually, according to the Vista devs' blog, the new taskbar is only 10 pixels taller than Vista's.
