screen shots

I'm currently running windows 7 6801, if there is any feature in this article that needs a screen shot but doesn't have one let me know and I'll get one for it. Redekopmark (talk) 04:51, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (Graphical Command Shell) Thanks! Ghettoblaster (talk) 22:04, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I beleive this is it, I don't know how to use it so I left the input part blank Redekopmark (talk) 06:23, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why not demo the Libraries and Federated Search too? Libraries can be demo-ed by - may be - grouping the files by containing folder and then taking a screen shot. --soum talk 05:07, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Taskbar

"Windows can still be ungrouped just like in other versions of Windows." This is supported by the reference link in which the speaker mentions that windows can still be ungrouped.Dark88 (talk) 23:35, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images

I've looked all over he place and can't seem to find out how to upload images. The images I've uploaded apparently will be deleted in a week or so. I've tried making sure to use the proper forms but it's not working. If someone can help me, I'd appreciate it if the following images could be used in this article:

Device Stage: http://howto.wired.com/mediawiki/images/Devicestage.png
Jump List: http://howto.wired.com/mediawiki/images/Jumplists.png or http://media.arstechnica.com/images/windows7/Windows%20Media%20Player%20JumpList.png
Peek: http://howto.wired.com/mediawiki/images/PeekAfter.jpg or http://media.arstechnica.com/images/windows7/Peek%20-%20After.png

Most of the images are located in these two links: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20081028-first-look-at-windows-7.html or http://www.webmonkey.com/blog/PDC_2008:_The_7_Coolest_New_Features_in_Windows_7

Also, why was the Jump List image removed? That is a Windows 7 feature and it shows exactly what was being talked about in the Taskbar section.Dark88 (talk) 00:07, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Be sure to read and follow these guidelines: Wikipedia:Uploading images and Wikipedia:Image use policy. Ghettoblaster (talk) 00:34, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I gave those links a look. I believe I got the images to upload correctly now. I also used the WMP Jump List rather than the Jump List from the Start Menu as it seemed more appropriate. Dark88 (talk) 16:45, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
