This is pretty comprehensive and obviously a lot of work. I've read through half a dozen pages and thought it was anecdotal. The question hit me, does it really matter? We get what we're going to get.

Unless of course we (ahem) tweak it ourselves.

Nice! It's good to see just those little differences sometimes, subtle

During the upgrade of builds, some things change and it's frustrating sometimes when it just stops working teh way you expect it.

Wow...who does this? Great info though!

Too bad it (the blue tskmgr mod) doesn't seem to work on x64...

At least I know changes since beta to RC.
I don't even remeber when I have installed beta 1 (b 7000) that was really long time ago
MS go in right direction

Glad I didn't waste my time trying it. The green doesn't bother me anyway.

Didn't read it from that article but I have noticed (maybe it's due to the tweak for 7 I installed in another thread from this forum) now with the 7100 version when you want to shut down from Start>Log Off, the down arrow next to Log Off doesn't have an option to SHUT DOWN. Only options it gives are Switch User and Lock. If you click switch user then the screen goes black for a few seconds then comes back on and then there is a power off switch. I don't want this extra step to shut down my PC. Is there a way to get back the original Beta versions log off/shut down button?

This is how mine appears, it is the default for RC (7100).

That's all I see on mine. Is there a setting that switched my default setting once I installed EnhanceMySe7ven? I should have upgraded before installing that program. If I uninstall it will all settings go back to normal?

Wow...that looks FUBAR'd. May need to reinstall unless there is some registry setting. OR perhaps a repair using the DVD.

Weird thing is other than that there are no issues with Win 7.
