Microsoft is getting ready to launch their newest operating system on October 22nd. After the release of Windows Vista in January 2007, Microsoft went back to their development teams to re-work the operating system to meet the demands of its users. The result is Windows 7.
At first glance, Windows 7 looks a lot like Vista. It has a very similar look and feel as its predecessor. The differences become apparent when you begin to use the system. Microsoft has made several enhancements to the software based on comments from Vista users. Some of these enhancements include:
- Improved taskbar with full screen previews
- Jump Lists
- Desktop Enhancements
- Windows Search
These are just some of the new features that you will experience when using Windows 7.
I have installed the stable beta version of the new operating system, and at first I thought that it was just a new version of Vista. It was only after I really started to use my computer that I realized the differences in the way my computer runs. My computer seems to run faster than ever before. I started using Internet Explorer 8 to surf the web and was quite impressed. The new web browser is fully integrated into the OS for maximum efficiency and usability.
As I continue using Windows 7, I will report back about my experiences.
