BloGitud : Windows 7

Ladies and gentlemen , Windows 7 is here .but as many of you still don’t know anything about it , let’s get back and take a look at the seven major innovations introduced by Microsoft’s new operating system.

The “super taskbar”

on Windows 7, the desktop features a new taskbar, a lot more intuitive than the previous one . This “super bar” allows a visual overview of a task started and this just by taking your mouse over it . If a Web page in the taskbar plays a video for example, the user can watch it while it’s being played without having to click on the application.

A Faster access to documents

If the graphic aspect of Windows 7 is not revolutionary compared to Windows Vista, the ergonomics of the system have been radically revised and improved. For example, in the “Start” menu, when you place the cursor over an application like Word for example , a “jumplist” appears displaying the files you have previously opened on Word.

Automatic resizing of the opened windows

This is one of the most useful tips introduced by Windows 7. By launching a window on the right side or left of the desktop, it is automatically resized to fit the half of the screen, without hiding what was displayed on the page. Shaking a window that you want to keep will also instantly reduce the size of all the other windows opened on the desktop.

Multi-Touch
Windows 7 has been partly designed to facilitate the use of touch screens computers , which should be democratized in the upcoming months (many affordable models are announced by HP, MSI, Asus, etc..). On these machines, your finger replaces the mouse. The experience provides a very smooth navigation, and this to manipulate files, work on documents or surf the Web.

A new Windows Media Center
The multimedia center of Windows has been redesigned and corrected. Easier to take in hand, it allows you to connect with your computer peripherals through the “local group”. For example, the Media Center of Windows 7 let you listen on your hi-fi , the music stored on your hard disk, or display your vacation photos on your TV set.

Windows 7 consumes less energy
Less greedy, Windows 7 responds faster than Windows Vista. The user will notice it , for example during the startup or the standby of the system. On laptops and netbooks, Windows 7 has a more intelligent management of the resources. It allows you for example to save the energy needed to illuminate the screen or disable certain functions not used to provide more autonomy to the machine.

Enhanced Security

Windows 7 has a security center that centralizes and summarizes the configuration and prevents the user on the taskbar, when a problem is likely going to harm the PC (firewall disabled, updates , outdated antivirus, etc..). The User Account Control (UAC), which, under Vista, used to askthe user to confirm his actions, is less present in Windows 7. Other security tools: Windows Defender, which protects the computer from spyware, parental control, and Windows firewall.
