Other cool things to try:

Win+Left and Win+Right hotkeys will snap a window to the screen edge.

Pressing Win+Right when a window is snapped to the right will move it to the next monitor in a multimon setup.

I think Win+Shift+Right will jump any window to the next monitor, etc.

Win+Up will maximize and Win+Down will restore.

Alt+P will show/hide the preview pane in Explorer.

It's good to see them finally making more use of the "Windows" keyboard key - this just keeps getting better & better...

Does anybody have a screenshot of PowerShell please?

Maybe I discovered something maybe I didn't, but who knows...

Open up a few MSN chatscreens or IE pages or something, but not maximized ones. Just windows. I then started dragging a window and I was wiggling with my mouse, and all the other Windows minimized so I had an empty desktop to place my window on. Hope you understand. Try it out! :)

Yes, there is a video demonstration of that located here.

The new rich Command Prompt is freaking brilliant. I hope Linux evolves to use something like this in the future! (Y)

For what it is worth, Linux (like all Unix/derivatives) have a solid and powerful shell foundation.

Not sure if your post was serious, or being a bit silly if you already were aware of the unix shells.

Nice! Looks very good and can't wait is this hoping to be released by next year or by end of this year or something? if so i will definaltly buy Win 7!

Not a very reliable source but it narrows things down ;) :

Release date: Expected between H2 2009 and January 2010; or on June 3,
Here's the command line version, there is also a graphical version.

You do know Windows PowerShell works on Vista too, right? This isn't JUST Windows 7.

PowerShell 2.0 from what i've seen has more going on for it than Bash and so on. I don't think he was trying to be silly, if it sounded that way to you is different though.

Can't believe I forgot this:

- In the volume mixer, you can see the noise each individual application is making, not just the total noise coming out the speakers.

eg. You could see if it was windows media player or winamp making noise just by looking at the volume mixer.

Vista has this feature already.

Wow, I haven't seen Windows getting this much hype for some time :)

Windows 7 seems just awesome... I'm just overwhelmed they did so much in a pre-beta build. Hopefully this will be that greatest version of Windows combining the technology of Vista with a new level of usability and interface.

i have noticed that ultimate extras such as dreamscene, texas holem, etc... are missing from 6801..wonder if they are dropping these or just revamping?

Ultimate extras is being dropped (so I've heard), not sure what they're going to do with things they released for vista though.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.
