Just to add that you can get a taskbar jump list with the keyboard in two
ways. First is by pressing the context menu key when focus in on the
taskbar icon. Note that Shift + F10, which in many situations is the same
as pressing the context menu key, does not produce a jump list. Second way
is to press Alt + WindowsKey + the number of the icon on the taskbar
starting from the left, so for the first icon it's Alt + WindowsKey + 1
and so on. Reason I mention all this is I've noticed some new Dell laptops
don't have a context menu key which means only the second option is
available.

I do. Basically you are only prompted if a third party program, like an
installation program, tries to perform some action. Windows programs, on
the
other hand, you won't be prompted. Also, in Vista, you had to listen to
the
whole prompt and see if there's a continue button (alt+c) or an allow
button
(alt+a). This won't be the case as regardless of the prompt it's always
yes
button (alt+y). With the jump lits feature, you right click an
application,
pinned or unpinned, on the taskbar, and you can, for example, view the
last
ten web pages you've visited, or view the last ten word documents you've
worked on. So hope this helps.

Do you have experience of the improved user account control and/or the
jump list? These sound interesting.

Yeah sure. You can find out more at www.windows7.com. The
main improvements are very fast shutdown and bootup
times; more responsive than even XP; fully compatible
with most modern hardware and software; improved search;
improved user account control; improved accessibility in
some areas, i.e. network and sharing centre; pin/unpin
applications from the taskbar; jump lists; and that may
be it.

So, why shell out for Windows 7? A quick run-down of
the "improved" or "new" facilities would be nice, please
...

Hello all,
I'd like to announce that for those in the EU, including
UK customers, you can pre-order Windows 7 from selective
retailers from tomorrow (July 15) to August 14, or
whenever all stocks ran out, depending on what's first.
You can pre-order Windows 7 Home Premium for just £50
and Windows 7 Professional for just £100. From tomorrow
go to www.windows7.com, click the get Windows 7 link,
click the change link, select United Kingdom in the
combo box of countries, and follow the instructions to
pre-order. The product itself won't be released till
October 22, but if you order now you'll have the full
product at over half price. Enjoy!
