A look at the new beta operating system by Microsoft, Windows 7.
Many people today in the software industry have been greatly disappointed with the windows vista experience. To respond to this Microsoft has created a new version of Windows, Windows 7. Windows 7 compared to it’s predecessor is a more complete piece of software with new features and functions.
Windows 7 Features
Windows 7 comes with many new features then Windows Vista, they both have the same look with the Windows Aero technology yet they feel much different. For starters Windows 7 is immensely less of a resource hog then Windows Vista. It also includes a new and slimed down version of Windows Aero; this version of Windows Aero includes some features such as more organised task bar, and desktop wallpaper slideshows to name a couple. This version of Windows Aero also seems to be more slimed down as it takes less resources from the computer.
Windows 7 also includes some new and revised classic Windows applications. Such as the paint program, the paint program has been given a total make over. It now has a new look and feel not to mention it also has new more simplified tools. Another new feature is the snipping tool which lets you crop parts of your desktop display. Another hand feature is the Sticky Notes program. This Program lets you post a note on the computer to remind you of something you need to do.
Windows 7 Drawbacks
Windows 7 has some drawbacks with the new system. The first drawback is that there is no more Windows Media Player task bar control panel. Windows live messenger also doesn’t minimise to a tray icon anymore. Also all the windows are automatically clumped together in a new style of task bar management.
Things to Think About
This version of Windows is much more finished then the previous version. With all the improvements it really would be worth buying. More improvements are still on the way for this operating system as it is still in the beta testing stage. Last but not least, if you want to see the true Windows 7 experience then go download the beta it is free till August, 1 2009!
