Impressed with user interface and features of Windows 7 shown during presentation in PDC 2008? Unfortunately for early birds who download and install Windows 7 build version 6801 M3 (6.1.6801), the advanced and new features in Windows 7 has been locked and disabled in that particular build. As such, users only get to use Windows 7 that starkly similar to Windows Vista, without highly anticipated features such as new Superbar enhanced Taskbar, Aero Shake, Aero Peek, Aero Snap (hack to enable Aero Snap in Windows XP and Vista), Desktop Slideshow auto background change and etc.

There is some old saying that means if you want to hide it, don’t do it. The fact that the Windows 7 build 6801 already include the new features of Windows 7, but Microsoft decided to lock, restrict and prevent it from been seen allows hacker at withinwindows.com to unlock and re-enable the locked and hidden features.

Microsoft has introduced two new user experience in Windows 7, namely Aero Shake and Aero Peek, to satisfy appetite of Windows users who are demanding more flashy graphical user interface after the born of outstanding Windows Aero GUI, and signal the move towards Natural User Interface (NUI) model of interaction.

Aero Shake allows user to quickly and instantly minimize all other non-active windows that sit in the background by just shaking the application window, and at the same time experiencing a seizure in your hand. To bring back the desktop to previous state with windows open back, shake the sole window again. To use Aero Shake to minimize all inactive windows to Taskbar (or Superbar), user can click and hold on to a window’s title bar that he or she wants to continue work on, and then move the window to left and to right (shake) a few times (two times or move). The feature is probably one of the feature to support mouse gesture by Microsoft.
