Oh yes, the Superbar is available in Windows 7 Build 6801

Wishing that the new "Superbar" was available for the PDC build of Windows 7? What about for your trusty copy of Vista? Well it isn't available for Vista yet (I am sure someone will whip up someway of porting it over) but it is available to all users who have a copy of Windows 7 Build 6801.

Rafael, the well known Ux theme patcher, from withinwindows.com, has uncovered how to bring this breakthrough feature available to anyone who is lucky enough to have Windows 7 build 6801. It does take some changing to the OS to enable this hidden feature but it is well worth it.

Windows 7's "Superbar" was demonstrated heavily at Microsoft's PDC. For more information and full demonstrations checkout our PDC section.

Oh yes, the Superbar is available in Windows 7 Build 6801
