Windows 7 Build 6801 Tips and Tricks Guide

Chris Holmes and Kristan Kenney: Well its that time again. PDC has come and gone, and with it comes a build of the much anticipated Windows 7. Windows 7 delivers many new and interesting features, and in our opinion comes much closer to delivering on that wonderful Longhorn vision we saw at PDC 2003. The purpose of this guide is to offer insight into some of the cool new features in Windows 7 build 6801 and also to provide workarounds for some of the minor issues we encountered while using this build. Lets get to it then shall we?

Oh yes, the Superbar is available in Windows 7 Build 6801

Wishing that the new "Superbar" was available for the PDC build of Windows 7? What about for your trusty copy of Vista? Well it isn't available for Vista yet (I am sure someone will whip up someway of porting it over) but it is available to all users who have a copy of Windows 7 Build 6801.

Rafael, the well known Ux theme patcher, from withinwindows.com, has uncovered how to bring this breakthrough feature available to anyone who is lucky enough to have Windows 7 build 6801. It does take some changing to the OS to enable this hidden feature but it is well worth it.

Windows 7's "Superbar" was demonstrated heavily at Microsoft's PDC. For more information and full demonstrations checkout our PDC section.

Windows 7 Build 6801 has the Superbar, too

Microsoft deceived every PDC2008 attendee by saying that the build they handed out, build 6801, didn't have the new "superbar" taskbar replacement that was being shown off throughout the conference.

Well, it turns out that it really is in the build, you just have to be properly authenticated in Redmond. Rafael (withinwindows.com) has decrypted this mystery and has provided a patch (with instructions) that will enable the superbar on any 6801 install.

Windows 7 pre-beta build is 6801

Microsoft announced the availability of a critical security patch yesterday affecting a variety of Windows operating systems.

Interestingly, the Windows 7 pre-beta build, which will be available to developers next Tuesday, also contains the bug. Microsoft stated "Customers running Windows 7 Pre-Beta are encouraged to download and apply the update to their systems. On Windows 7 Pre-Beta systems, the vulnerable code path is only accessible to authenticated users. This vulnerability is not liable to be triggered if the attacker is not authenticated, and therefore would be rated Important."

In a support article Microsoft details some Windows 7 Pre-Beta file information notes. The build string on the notes is 6.1.6801.4106, the same build string that has been screenshotted recently.

It is believed that the 6801 build is a milestone 3 (M3) build released to select customers and partners over the last few months.

Microsoft will be releasing the build to attendees at their professional developers conference next Tuesday.

Notebook players paying close attention to multi-touch

Hewlett-Packard (HP) is planning to stir up the touch panel notebook market with multi-touch technology at the end of this year, and with Windows 7, which according to Microsoft will include features to take advantage of multi-touch capabilities, on the horizon, notebook industry players are paying close attention to the development of multi-touch technologies.

Touch panel tablet PCs are mostly niche market products currently and usually single-touch only due to costs and limited software support. However, notebook industry players believe multi-touch has the potential to take off in the mainstream market thanks to handset devices such as the iPhone. Windows 7 will also be key for promoting multi-touch since it enables multi-touch interfaces as part of the Windows operating system, the sources noted.

Introducing the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7

At Wall Street Journal's D: All Things Digital conference about a year ago today, Julie Larson-Green first introduced Walt Mossberg to Windows 7 and its multi-touch capabilities, which we call Windows Touch. While weve been working on bringing natural user interface to you in many Microsoft products, we first introduced multi-touch in Microsoft Surface. Since then, the Windows and Surface development teams have been collaborating closely on bringing multi-touch to Windows, and last year demoed a few applications they created to run on Windows 7. Today, we thought it would be fitting on this anniversary of first talking about Windows Touch to introduce the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7.

Windows 7 Build 6801 Desktop Slideshow

Chris Holmes: Well folks, were at it again. Last night I was having a discussion with Rafael Rivera and we got to wondering if there was something more that Microsoft was hiding away from us, using the same method as they did to tuck away the superbar. With that said, I started crawling my system with some tools to find references, as Rafaels laptop was acting up and my machine could accomplish the task much quicker. Completely to my suprise, the system pulled some results across many other files in the system. Upon examination, Rafael discovered that this all ties into a new feature that we assume will be called Desktop Slideshow. Think of this as a dreamscene-esque type feature but without the hassle and the chugging of your CPU if you try to play a video with any decent resolution.

According to reports from Stuff.tv, following a recent visit to one of LG's display factories, it appears that LG is preparing to ship multi-touch screens. There are rumors arising that the displays are for Apple and a future multi-touch iMac. Apple has stated quite clearly that multi-touch will not be a feature available on their desktop or notebook line in the near future, yet the rumor mill still brewed and with the discovery of these LG screens, is brewing further. It is also possible that these displays could be LCDs for the upcoming Windows 7 release or merely displays for manufacturers other than Apple.
