Windows Aero Shake

Aero Shake is one of several new Aero Desktop extra utilities in Windows 7, but unlike other new functions in Windows 7 - like Aero Peek and Aero Snaps. Aero Shake was never debated openly in the public by Microsoft, just as it´s not listed in their official Windows 7 Beta review guide.

Thus Aero Shake is a secret that Rafael Rivera from Within Windows discovered. But Microsoft has now admitted that the function does indeed exist

When you do it the first time, all other open windows will be minimized. Repeat the action, and the minimized windows will now be brought back to their original.

Aero Shake is designed as a supplement to Aero Peek, although it is working a bit different. In this case focused on the chosen window, and other windows being minimized. That means that they disappear completely and you wont see a 'Ghost window' like you do with Aero Peek.

Classified: Aero Shake first popped out at the Professional Developers Conference in October 2008 (PDC), where Microsoft revealed most of the Windows 7 functions to the public. Enterprising hacker Rafael Rivera from Within Windows discovered Aero Shake the same time he opened Windows 7 build 6801 to include the new process line that Microsoft had tried to hide

Tip: Windows Xp and Windows Vista users, can download a free help program that adds the Aero Shake functionality to their desktop

Tip: You can also execute Aero Shake - Except the shaking part - whit the hotkey Windows key+ Home

Why should I upgrade to Internet Explorer 7? Microsoft has redesigned Internet Explorer from the ground up, with better security, new capabilities, and a whole new interface. Many changes resulted from the feedback of millions of users who tested prerelease versions of the new browser. The most compelling reason to upgrade is the improved security. The Internet of today is not the Internet of five years ago. There are dangers that simply didn't exist back in 2001, when Internet Explorer 6 was released to the world. Internet Explorer 7 makes surfing the web fundamentally safer by offering greater protection against viruses, spyware, and other online risks.
