   Well if you can no longer accidentally remove the "Show Desktop" icon onto the Desktop and accidentally delete it, then I will be happy.

   I havent seen any pictures with the new Taskbar on the top or either left or right of the screen, that is still possible right?

   It looks nice I like that Word will list recent documetns when highlighted, very cool.  Cant wait for a public release of Windows 7 Beta as the new Taskbar does look usefull.

   newscientist2000, yes you can move the Windows Taskbar to the top or right or left of the screen - it doesn't need to stay just on the bottom. Also: I do believe the issue of "Show Desktop" you mention is no longer a problem :-)

   The new way to show the hidden sistem tray icons is cool, opening a pop-up.

   I think the new taskbar looks kind of messy with all these icons and small tansparent boxes over them.

   and they are not as pretty as in VISTA

   It looks very attractive.

   But, I think it will consume much more memory & processor time.

   And thats not so good for all users who have such slow PCs.

   Not very slow. But, slow if u compare it's specificatins to Windows 7 requirements.

   For me, I prefer Windows Classic style.

   It's very optimized for performanc.

   WOW, Very attractive.

   But, I think the Windows will be very small on most machines.

   Here, In egypt, Its very difficult to install Vista on half of all machines, Because the machines are too slow to have Vista installed on even on the fastest machines Vista still sometimes slow.

   For me, I prefere the style Windows Classic bcause it's otimized for performance.

   But, I don't think that the ordinary user can bear Windows Classic theme!

   I just love the new taskbar. You say that it not is aviable in Build 6801, but I got a patch that activated the new taskbar. Why wasnt it activated by default in Windows 7?

   The new taskbar is simply amazing and surely a lot more functional than previous ones. I really can't wait to play with Windows 7 official beta (which is looking like just around the corner). I'v never been so excited for a Windows release,Windows 7 is going to be the best in my opinion. This time around things are going great

    It's a "include classic or I won't upgrade" situation for many of us.
