Immersive Explorer

Immersive Explorer is designed to be an alternative to the default file explorer included in Windows (known as Windows Explorer).

It aims to provide an "immersive" experience to the user by focusing on the content rather than hiding it behind useless icons and large window chrome and borders. It will also avoid the user from having to open different applications and navigate between multiple windows when doing things as simple as viewing a picture.

For example, when the user want to see a photo, instead of opening Windows Photo Viewer in a new window, the photo will be displayed directly in the Immersive Explorer window.

Although it is not a Windows 8 "Metro application", it is designed around the "Metro" user interface guidelines. It will be optimised for touch-screens, but will offer a great experience for desktop users too (with features like scroll-to-zoom, keyboard navigation).

Immersive Explorer is based on Win32/.net/WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). It uses graphical hardware acceleration to display fluid animations and transitions, making it look more modern than the default GDI-based Windows file explorer. Note that it is not a complete replacement for the Windows Shell (it's just an alternative to Windows Explorer) and it won't even need admin rights to be installed.

As it is not based on WinRT, unfortunately it means that it won't work on Windows RT devices (but it will work on Windows 8 tablets like Surface Pro). I expect Windows 8 (x86) tablets to be more popular than Windows RT tablets among power users, so lack of Windows RT support is not a huge problem. 

Configuration required :

Windows 7 or Windows 8

A Core 2 Duo processor, or better (this app will be optimised to run on low end CPUs like Intel Atom or AMD Fusion in a future version)

At least 1 GB of ram

The .NET Framework 4 must be installed (it is already installed by default in Windows 8, but not on Windows 7).

Win8 Task Manager for Win7

We know that there are many of you who have no desire to upgrade to Windows 8 from Windows 7. We also know that if you use Windows 7 you are likely drooling over the Windows 8 task manager, as it is light-years ahead of what Windows 7 currently offers.

If you want to get a flavor of that task manager in Windows 7, hit the source link below as Neowin forum member Hanrui has posted download links to the task manager that he is currently creating for Windows 7. We should note that the application is not fully stable yet, so you may encounter a few issues when using the program.

The good news here is that this task manager does not replace the existing task manager in Windows 7, so you can install the application without fear of nuking your current task manager.

The name of the file is DBCTaskman and if that name sounds familiar, it's because this is the same person who created the DBCShell.exe with Vista like clock for XP many years ago.
