Hands-On With Windows 7's New Features 662

Barence writes "Microsoft has released the first pre-beta code of Windows 7, and PC Pro has a series of in-depth, hands-on examinations of all the new features. The revamped user interface has clearly gleaned more than a little inspiration from the Mac OS X Dock, but it goes further than the Apple concept with 'jumplists,' new gadgets and an updated system tray.

I am afraid that if I convey my interest in the domain to the domain squatter that they will renew the domain indefinitely and only offer it to me for a price that is obscene. On the other hand, waiting 10 months to try to snatch the domain when it expires is also unat
