Windows 7 Tips and Tricks

[ThaMan]

I found this article this morning. (http://i.gizmodo.com/5147665/how-to-use-windows-7s-new-interface) It has some features of Windows 7 that I was having a hard time finding. I found it pretty useful, so I thought I would share with my other techie friends here. :)

I thought I would hate the new taskbar and find Aero Peek useless but these are my new must haves. I'm in love.

I find it very interesting that they're making it look and work more like Apple OS. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because I've always felt that the UI Apple puts forth has always been ahead of Windows in terms of ease-of-use.

Personally I've been using Object Dock (http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/) for about a year now and I love it. It completely replaces my default taskbar.

Mind you my experience with OSX is severely limited so I can't make valuable comparisons, but the combination of the new taskbar in Windows 7 with AeroPeek is a sublime feature that has to be used to really be appreciated. (Screenshots and descriptions just didn't ring my bell the way actually using it did.)

IS there a way for me to download this still?

Nope, the beta download has expired. You can still get a key, from what I hear, but you would have to find someone that has the beta to install it from.

You can see the information about the beta here. (http://forum.lostorder.net/showthread.php?t=81)
