If you have a reasonably new laptop with an Intel WiFi chipset then I have some good news. A set of new Intel WiFi drivers made available just a couple weeks ago, version 13.0.0.107 if you’re playing along, finally adds the necessary driver-level support for the new native Virtual WiFi technology in Windows 7.

Love Windows 7’s new and improved taskbar (we know you do) but wish you could fine-tune a few aspects of its functionality—like middle-click to close and other mouse behavior? Small utility 7 Taskbar Tweaker does just that.
