Microsoft has done many things with the new OS such as windows Aero features and new support features they have also included new programs and taken away some features of the operating system. They have also reduced the strain on computers with a more condensed and stable build. On benchmarks I have concluded that while running windows 7 beta with Aero the computer has preformed better then with windows vista without Aero.
Windows 7 Action center
Windows 7 has included with it a program they call Action center; it is used to alert people of problems that the computer has had.
The windows 7 Action center is pretty easy to use, it is everything that you would need support and maintenance wide congealed into one program. It includes features such as alerts, backup support, tells you whether there are updates, ways to trouble shoot, and many other features. It really helps to simplify the windows experience when dealing with computer or software based issues.
Windows live essentials
Windows 7 has taken some programs out of the OS; these include programs like windows movie makes, windows live mail, windows photo gallery, and windows live messenger. It also some new programs such as the windows live writer. To receive the windows live essentials you will have to download them and install them onto your computer yourself.
Aside from the windows live essentials there has been a revamp in the old windows programs such as paint, msn, and windows explorer. There has also been a change with the way networking happens with the new windows mesh feature. These changes have all been implemented to help simplify the windows experience and in my opinion I really think they do help with simplification.
Windows Aero
With the many program changes windows Aero hasn't gone unnoticed either. Some new features that are included with the new windows Aero include a new taskbar format, slideshow desktop wallpapers, effects, and features. A very interesting new effect that comes with windows Aero would be what I like to call the shake feature. Pretty much what you do is you click and grab the program windows and you shake it, when you do this all the other windows around it will minimize. When you shake the window again all the other windows will un minimize! It is a really neat feature and it is really fun to play with!
In the screenshot you can see that I was able to capture the screen right before the Action center windows could minimize. This video is choppy but I hope you can depict what I am basically doing.
