Windows 7 Milestone 3 Screenshot Gallery
Part 1: Desktop, Taskbar, and Start Menu
These screenshots come courtesy of Microsoft. I'll be posting my own shots as well, but Microsoft's shots are interesting because they depict a slightly different build than the one distributed to PDC attendees. Thus, it features additional functionality such as the new Aero desktop effects and the new taskbar with jump lists and taskbar previews.
