I > will begin writing up full articles about each feature soon. > > Accessibility improvements. Microsoft has revamped the > accessibility features in Windows 7 with improved speech > recognition and a new Magnifier utility with full-screen and > lens-mode views. > > Action Center.

In > addition to monitoring security, Action Center also monitors > the OS's maintenance features and consolidates alerts > from numerous Windows features into a single interface. > > Aero Peek. This replacement for Show Desktop in Windows 7 > lets you "peek" behind all of the open windows on > your desktop and easily view and Windows Gadgets or files on > your desktop. You can also peek into the contents of > specific open windows. > > Aero Snaps. By dragging open windows in certain ways, you > can "snap" them to the edges of the screen, > maximize, or minimize. This obviates the need to click tiny > onscreen elements, making these features more accessible to > users. > > Backup and Restore. Windows Vista's stellar backup and > restore features have been streamlined and simplified in > Windows 7. Like its predecessor, Windows 7 supports both > data backup and image-based system backup, but now the UIs > are more segregated. > > Bitlocker To Go. The full-drive encryption feature that > first debuted in Windows Vista has been updated in Windows 7 > to support removable USB storage devices like flash memory > drives and portable hard drives. > > Blu-Ray support. Windows 7 natively supports Blu-Ray > optical discs and enables you to write to Blu-Ray recordable > media. > > Calculator. The Windows Calculator utility inexplicably > receives a major upgrade in Windows 7 with calculation > history, unit conversion, calculation templates, data > calculations, and other new features. > > Credential Manager. The new and improved Windows 7 > Credential Manager lets you save credentials, like user > names and passwords, so that you can more easily logon on to > Web sites, networked computers, and other resources > automatically. Credentials are saved in the Windows Vault > and can be backed up and restored to encrypted Managed > Information Card (MIC) files. (Credential Manager uses > Windows CardSpace technology.) > > Device Stage.

Essentially a simple replacement for > VPN connections, DirectAccess requires Windows Server 2008 > R2 on the server-side. > > DirectX 11. Windows 7 includes the latest version of the > DirectX multimedia libraries. > > Display improvements. Windows 7 includes numerous > improvements related to computer displays, including > integrated display color calibration, improved high DPI > support, ClearType, and improved support for external > displays. A new Windows Key + P keyboard shortcut helps you > easily switch between connected displays. > > Getting Started.

Microsoft has consolidated the most common > network-based sharing tasks into a single simple interface > called HomeGroup. Computers in a HomeGroup can easily share > documents, digital media files, and printers over a home > network. > > Internet Explorer. Windows 7 ships with the latest version > of Microsoft's Web browser, Internet Explorer 8. > > Libraries.

Windows 7 utilizes different > default printers for each of the network locations > you've configured on the system so you won't > mistakenly print a child's school project to the work > printer.

The Paint utility that's been in Windows from > the very first version receives its first significant > upgrade in decades, and now sports the new Scenic Ribbon > toolbar. > > Parental Controls. The parental control functionality that > debuted in Windows Vista is updated in Windows 7 to support > multiple games rating systems and parental control > providers. > > Power Config. Windows 7 includes a new Power Config utility > that provides reports identifying problems, settings, > applications, and other things that may be reducing the > power efficiency of your PC. > > Problem Steps Recorder.

ReadyBoost first appeared in Windows Vista, > providing users with a way to cheaply and easily improve the > performance of their PCs by utilizing a USB memory key as a > memory cache. In Windows 7, ReadyBoost is improved in > numerous way: It supports multiple memory devices, can work > with USB memory keys, Secure Digital (SD) memory cards, and > other internal flash devices, and supports over 4 GB of > storage. > > Scenic Ribbon. Microsoft has evolved the Ribbon toolbar > from Office 2007 and made it part of the operating system in > Windows 7. This new version of the Ribbon, called the scenic > Ribbon, is used by two Windows 7 applications, Paint and > WordPad, and can be used by third party applications going > forward as well. > > Sensor support. Windows 7 includes support for > hardware-based sensors, including GPS-based location > sensors. > > Start Menu (Enhanced). The Windows 7 Start Menu is an > enhanced version of the Start Menu that debuted in Windows > Vista. > > Startup Repair. While this useful tool did debut with > Windows Vista, it wasn't installed on PCs by default. In > Windows 7, it is installed into the OS partition > automatically and appears automatically when the system > can't boot properly, fixing any problems and returning > the system to its normal booting state. > > Sticky Notes. The Sticky Notes utility loses the bizarre > Windows XP-style interface from previous Windows versions > and supports ink and text input. > > Styles. In Windows 7, Microsoft combines various system > preferences--including the desktop background, the Aero > glass window color, the system sounds, and the screen > saver--into styles you can customize, save, and share with > others. > > System Restore. The Windows 7 version of System Restore > works as before, providing a way to non-destructively return > a PC to a previous point in time, but is more reliable, > predictable, and effective than its predecessors. > > Tablet PC. After making Tablet PC functionality available > more broadly in Windows Vista, Microsoft is improving this > technology in Windows 7 with better handwriting recognition > that has improved accuracy, speed, and support for math > expressions, personalized custom dictionaries, and 13 new > languages. > > User Account Control. While much reviled by certain users, > the User Account Control (UAC) feature that debuted in > Windows Vista played a huge role in making that system the > most secure Windows version yet. In Windows 7, UAC is > extensively updated to be less annoying, and the overall > system has been fine-tuned to minimize the number of UAC > prompts that interrupt users. > > View Available Networks. Windows 7 includes a new Jump > List-based utility for finding and connecting to Wi-Fi, > mobile broadband, dial-up, and VPN connections. Unlike the > similar UI in Windows Vista, this utility, called View > Available Networks, does not require you to navigate through > a series of dialogs and windows. > > Virtual Hard Disk support. Windows 7 allows you to mount a > Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) as a drive in Explorer so that you > can navigate its contents like a physical hard disk. It also > supports the ability to boot from VHD images. > > VPN Reconnect. Windows 7 users who still need to make > traditional VPN connections will benefit from a new VPN > Reconnect feature that automatically reestablishes a VPN > connection when you temporarily lose Internet connectivity. > > Windows Anytime Upgrade. This utility debuted in Windows > Vista but was found to be too confusing for most users, so > the electronic upgrade capability was removed. In Windows 7, > Windows Anytime Upgrade returns to electronic upgrading and > Microsoft promises you'll be able to upgrade from one > version of Windows 7 to another in about 10 minutes now. > > Windows Defender. The malware and spyware protection > utility from Windows Vista continues in Windows > 7 with a few changes: It's been integrated into the new > Action Center and its centralized notification system. But > Defender also drops the useful Software Explorer feature, so > users will have to look elsewhere for a way to prevent > unwanted applications from running a startup. > > Windows Easy Transfer. The Windows Easy Transfer utility > that debuted in Windows Vista has been substantially updated > with a new user interface and new capabilities. As before, > Easy Transfer helps you transfer files, folders, and program > and system settings from your previous Windows install to > your new one. This time around, however, the process is > simpler and more streamlined. > > Windows Explorer. Microsoft has significantly updated > Windows Explorer yet again in Windows 7, this time with a > new toolbar, a resizable search box, and a new navigational > pane. > > Windows Gadgets. The Windows Sidebar disappears in Windows > 7, but the Gadgets continue on and are integrated with the > desktop. > > Windows Live. Windows 7 integrates with a growing > collection of Windows Live services, including Windows Live > Photos, Windows Live Profile, Windows Live People, Windows > Live Spaces, Windows Live Home, Windows Live SkyDrive, > Windows Live Groups, Windows Live Calendar, Windows Live > Events, Windows Live Hotmail, and more. > > Windows Live Essentials.

Microsoft's ten-foot UI for > digital media content is improved with a slightly enhanced > user interface, multi-touch support, HomeGroup integration, > and various global broadcast TV standards. > > Windows Media Player. Microsoft's media player received > a major makeover in Windows 7 with several new features, > including enhanced DVD playback, a new lightweight playback > mode, dramatically improved format compatibility (including > AAC and H.264), Windows Taskbar Jump List customization, > PC-to-PC and media streaming, and a new Play To feature. > > Windows PowerShell. Windows 7 ships with the Windows > PowerShell 2.0 scripting environment and the Windows > PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE). > > Windows Search. Windows 7 comes with the latest version of > Windows Search, and unlike the version that first shipped > with Windows Vista, you can now obtain instant search > results from network-based file shares as well as local hard > drives. Microsoft has also improved the performance of local > searches, sorting, and grouping. > > Windows Taskbar (Enhanced). The Windows Taskbar has been > dramatically enhanced in Windows 7 to minimize clutter. New > Taskbar features like Jump Lists, fly-over and full-screen > icon previews, and more. > > Windows Touch. Windows 7 builds on the Tablet PC and touch > capabilities from previous Windows versions and adds > pervasive support for multi-touch. All of the major UI > components, including the Start Menu, Windows Taskbar, and > Explorer, are touch-friendly in Windows 7. > > Windows Troubleshooting.

It works automatically, or you can visit the > Troubleshooting control panel to find problems to > troubleshoot. Windows Troubleshooting integrates with Action > Center so you'll be notified when relevant new > troubleshooters from Microsoft and third parties are made > available. > > Windows Update.
