Windows 7 review

It’s close to the Windows 7 release, and it will be an amazing operating system, or at least I will think.

One problem with Windows Vista is clutter on the taskbar for people who use lots of applications. A more important thing is that Windows Vista is buggy and I got unproductive with Vista.

Desktop sideshows can change the background certain times. This may be useless but remember those books where you flip the pages of a book for an animation, You can render that in Windows 7.

Many devices like Printers and Scanners include software, with control panels but Windows 7 adds features to manage the device itself with device-specific options. What if you have a phone without a camera and Windows gave an option to add images from the phone? You don’t have to be annoyed with it.

You also have a handy menu with devices. This is the root menu.

The new taskbar reduces clutter and also supports jump lists. Sorry for the old name in this because I would have used this for a similar article never published. Accessing an IE tab from the start menu has never been easier.

Dragging Windows to one side of the window never been easier. Without dual-monitors, you can do it. The best experience with this is with 1280 * 700 or higher.

Minimizing all Windows except one is possible with Aero Shake, shake the title bar with your mouse and do it, and to return, shake again. This video is not mine. Thanks to user xiaobi001 for giving the video.

WordPad and Paint also are getting the Ribbon interface from Office 2007, so people still on Office 97-2003 and Windows Vista or older might need a upgrade.

Windows XP mode can run legacy XP applications without Dual-booting, or having to starve on 4GB of RAM. You need Intel VT or AMD VTM. Legacy programmers like me will sure love this feature.
These are features which caught my eye but there are more features. After all Windows 7 is a

Operating system to me.
