LED, CMOS switch, six DIMM slots, 3-way SLI compatible, Dynamic Energy

- Windows 7 Video Introduction - UI and Netbook Operation - So far
the change in
Windows 7 that has generated the most press has been the Superbar. This
is actually locked in build 6801, probably because it's still in its very
early stages, but someone figured out how to unlock it. Once it's unlocked
you can see that it's flashy and functional, but not that different from the
standard taskbar. The version on display at PDC was improved and it should
be even better before the beta, once it's closer to being finished.

systems and can run on ordinary desktop and laptop computers in addition to
gesturally-equipped g-speak machines and clusters.
