Get Acquainted—the New Windows 7


October 22, 2009 was a big day for Microsoft—it officially introduced Windows 7 to the world. Unlike Vista, Windows 7 has received positive recognition from early adopters so far. The new OS is overall faster by dumping a bunch of unnecessary bundled applications. Also, Windows 7 gives the control back the user and promises a quicker access to files and programs with a simple click.

Best Features

1. New Live Taskbar
The new taskbar icons are easier to organize. You can mouse over to preview thumbnails of files and programs in full screen and click the one you want to work with.

2. Pin
If you have a program you use all the time or a file you want quick access to, you can pin it to the taskbar. It will stay there so you can get to it next time.

3. Snap
No more resizing and moving around windows when you want them open side by side. Just grab and drag the two windows and they’ll automatically snap in place, side by side.

4. Play to
If you want to watch a movie from your laptop on your TV or listen to your music library on your entertainment system just right click the file you want, select “Play to” and then choose the capable device on your home network.

5. Touch Window
Windows 7 support multi-touch input. With the touch-sensitive screen you can browse files, eBooks, or flip through photo albums. With touch applications being foreseen as the future of computing, Windows 7 seems to be getting a head start.
