Unlock and Enable Windows 7 6801 Hidden Features; Superbar, Aero Shake, Slideshow using “Blue Badge”

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.
