New Windows 7 Content on Channel 9

With the Windows 7 Beta announcement today at CES, we are transforming the Channel 9 theme into the Windows 7 theme. To  facilitate this, we are introducing new set of videos exploring key Windows 7 features and topics. Our goal is to provide a series of videos on key topics starting with overview videos but quickly diving into the guts of the technical details. We are coupling these videos with technical blog posts and code samples for you to download.

There is a lot of ground to cover and many topics to explore. We will start with a series of videos and blogs on the new Windows 7 Taskbar:
