Flashy Windows 7 bits protected by elaborate scheme, workaround
Rafael Rivera: During PDC ?08, I was passed a note indicating that I should dig deeper into the bits to discover the snazzy new Taskbar. Upon cursory analysis, I found no evidence of such and dismissed the idea as completely bogus.
I got home and starting doing some research on a potentially new feature called Aero Shake when I stumbled upon an elaborate set of checks tied to various shell-related components, including the new Taskbar.
Update: Although a newer-looking Taskbar is present, it?s not exactly what you saw at PDC ?08. For example, the Quicklaunch toolbar still exists, Aero Peek doesn?t work properly, and Jumplists are stale. This is likely why it wasn?t enabled, out of the box, so set your expectations accordingly.
