Windows 7 build 6608

Windows 7 build 6608 is the Milestone 2 build of Windows 7. This build was leaked to BetaArchive on 2010-06-16.

New features

 * Some Control Panel items have been changed since build 6519.
 * Nearly all mentions of Windows Vista have been changed to Windows 7.
 * The Aurora boot screen from build 6519 has been added back in this build.
 * The gadgets dropdown menu is now placed between display and personalize.

Bluepill enhancements
With Bluepill enabled, this build includes multiple new additions that would make it to the RTM. Among one of these are Aero Peek, which shows the location of applications in the background when hovering over the Show Desktop button. Another feature is an updated Superbar, which includes the new jump list menu options, although it is obtained in this build by pressing the arrow next to the application icon. The Superbar also no longer shows the application's name and only displays just the icon.

Paint and Calculator have both received updates. Paint includes multiple new brushes and shapes to add, and the Calculator now has a unit converter, alongside calculator modes for programmer, scientific, and statistics.

Superbar
Superbar can be enabled by merging them below into registry. Then restart the computer.

Aero Peek
Merge them into registry, and then restart.

Bugs

 * The buttons on the login screen appear to have jagged edges.
 * DWM is extremely buggy in this build and will cause rendering issues if using this build on VMware versions 10 and newer. Setting hardware compatibility to 9.x will solve this issue.
