Can I still use a regular Windows taskbar?

Can anyone look around in the style themes and see what you can configure?

Came out 2 days after I downloaded 6956.
Installed it in a virtual machine to test it out

Can you tell me your PC's specs? And is it working well on VM? Well i would like to use this as primary OS but for playing around I gues I could install it on VM.
It's a Mac

2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM

You could always try to run it on a VM, download the trial of VMWare (Parallels Desktop doesn't work with 7 with my tests and freezes at setup) and install it.
Vmware is free on PC

Also I'm download it now seeing how well it will work.

I just installed Win7 before I reinstalled XP... was a nice interface... installed 7gig (yea, 7 gig for windows 7, haha) in just under 10 minutes... was ready and idle after 2 reboots, and less than 10 minutes... was really quick!

I have build 7000.0.081212-1400

if you don't enter a CDKey, it'll give you 30 days till it timebombs... but all in all, can't wait to see the RTM!

No, you have to burn each build, and install it as a NEW... you can't upgrade from one build to another... the upgrade is from XP or Vista to 7... not 7 to 7... sorry

You have to burn EACH new build as it's leaked, and install is FRESH

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
