Bluepill enhancements
With Bluepill enabled, this build includes multiple new additions that would make it to the RTM. Among one of these 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. WordPad has been updated to include the ribbon from Office 2007.

Superbar
The superbar can be enabled by merging the following content into the registry: Then restart the computer.

Aero Peek
Aero Peek can be enabled by merging the content below into the registry. Then restart the computer.

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.
