Windows 7 is the next release of Microsoft Windows. It is based on Vista, and is expected to be released sometime early 2009. In Los Angeles last month, Microsoft unveiled the first public demo of Windows 7 at a developers conference. If you believe what Microsoft has to say about it, Windows 7 is designed to make everyday tasks faster and easier, and make new things possible for end users.
“We are bringing the best of the Web to Windows, and the best of Windows to the Web,” said Ray Ozzie, chief software architect at Microsoft. “From PC to the Web to the phone, and from the server to cloud, we are focused on enabling the creation of the next generation of user experiences that change the way we live, work and play.”
When released to the market, Windows 7 will enable the following:
- Revamped User Account Control
- Improved Taskbar
- HomeGroup to allow personnel group networking
- Libraries instead of files and folders to organise specific content types such as communications, contacts, documents, downloads, music, pictures and videos.
- Touch-screen capability
- Handwriting recognition
- New security features
- Easier to use home audio-video systems and other networked media devices to play music, watch videos and display photos.
