Andre has posted his 20 page, 50+ image preview of Windows 7 Beta Build 7000. Here is an excerpt:
The Taskbars Notification Area has some welcome improvements too, because of the extended height full date and time are displayed with the most appreciative being the ‘Show hidden icons’ menu. Back in Vista or previous versions of Windows, it was rather encroaching often stealing precious real estate and would give users a hard time retracting, even when behaviours were set for certain notifications in the Taskbar properties. The new Notification area in Windows 7 resolves this by consolidating additional notifications into a submenu that reveals a floating balloon. You can customize the behaviour from the floating balloon which opens a Control Panel applet which allows you to individually control the behaviour of each icon populated in the Notification Area, there is even a separate area just for controlling the behaviour of System icons such as Clock, Power, Network and Volume.
