The team is working on getting Impulse ready to handle pre-loads so that some of the upcoming large-scale titles can be installed onto people’s machines prior to release and then enabled on launch day.

One of the other features is the support for Windows 7 Jump Lists.  These features were originally planned to be all part of Impulse: Phase 5 but the desire to get pre-loading in for the holidays moved what we were working on up.

This should go to the public in the next couple weeks.
