Windows 7

The latest release of Microsoft Windows.

Let's check out what makes it so popular:


I won't really rant about how fast it works or about the translucent taskbar and its thumbnail preview ...Let's get to the features i love!


= Changeable themes (desktop background) :)
   like i need to elaborate


=Gadget > Soft stylus > Start finger writing
    you can use your finger as a stylus to write your document. though it gets irritating when it's unable to recognise the handwriting....it still works! only if there would've been a way to keep the original handwriting w/o converting it into comp fonts, adding signature and sketches to docs would've been easier..
Also, you can place your gadgets anywhere on the screen...unlike in Windows Vista.


= Windows Touch
   just pair windows 7 with a touch screen and you don't need a mouse! it also supports multi touch facility for zoom in and zoom out.


=Windows maintenance and security feature
   though it's annoying when it keeps telling you about 'unresolved problems' you have... it automatically creates a restore point which we always forget to create manually. (i know how many times i've 'restored' my data w/o personally creating a restore point :P) 


= Restore feature even in your folders
  go to any of your folder > right click > properties > previous versions
 you can never lose any data!!


= Calculator
   the basic calculator just got fancier! there are a plethora of modes to choose from. now you can crumple away all your doodled pages full of calculations :)


= Internet TV
  self explanatory, isn't it? watch/ record live TV on your PC. Period.


= Paint
  draw more realistic pictures. it's got some super features that'll help your picture get that 3D effect. but, naturally it'll take more space and loading time.


= Snipping tool
   now no more function key + print screen! just go to programs > snipping tool and your work is done!


= Windows Movie Maker
   though i really loved the Windows XP version of it.....this is not that bad! it does have some additional animation features which worked pretty well for my movies. but the only drawback i see is it's overall interface, which i found more user friendly in Windows XP. 


~ these were just a few features....you may feel free to add the ones YOU love :)
