Another new feature has been revealed in Windows 8 build. Our friend "Rafael" has discovered "Aero Auto-Colorization" feature in Windows 8.
"Aero Auto-Colorization" is the ability to automatically configure the color of Aero elements, like the Start Menu, Windows Explorer windows, and the taskbar based on the desktop wallpaper.
To make this change, you need to open Desktop Personalization window and then click Window Color. Now you find a new option in the grid of window color swatches: Automatic. (Microsoft removed one of the brown colors to make room.) Click this and then click the Save changes button.
Now, as you rotate through different wallpapers, the window color will change to match the wallpaper (in Aero mode only).

Why do I feel that this and all the previous features aren't worth a new OS and should have been rolled into SP1 for Windows 7.

I agree with Prashant. From all the leaked screen shots, it looks like Windows 8 is just some added features to Windows 7. The overall look is the same. No way can they release 8 as a new OS like they did with 7 with the Ultimate price around $350. Upgrading from XP, or even Vista, yeah, but for Windows 7 owners, it should be a SP2 free upgrade. IMHO.

I definitely agree with Prashant and Bobby.
Windows 7 has the most recent technologies that adding new featured to it will only modify it slightly, I agree... Windows 8 should be an update as a new service pack to 7.
I expect a new OS completely new with new ideas, with new technologies, not a tad modified version of the previous version.

But we still have to remember we are still in early testing stages. There will probably be more features coming up. I wouldn't say anything yet.

MS are just money hunting and I don't even think this is leaked information I just think this is Win7 with some tweaks.
