Microsoft's Windows 7

After Windows Vista Microsoft is planning to launch its new operating system called Windows 7.According to Microsoft it will be ready within couple of years unlike Vista which took almost 5 years to start its business.

Microsoft's VP, Steven Sinofsky, described Windows 7 as an "exciting new version" and claimed it would deliver a more personalized experience.

With Windows 7, Microsoft has added a range of new functions including:

  • A new taskbar to give more rapid access to files and programs.
  • A feature called HomeGroup, allowing users easy sharing of data across PCs and other devices in the home.
  • Support for devices such as cameras, printers, and mobile phones with a product called Device Stage offering a single window to manage tasks for each device.
  • Windows Touch - software for touch screen devices that enables users to use different gestures to perform tasks.
  • Improvements to some applications, such as MS Paint, and Calculator.
Microsoft's chief software architect Ray Ozzie said Windows 7 would be evolutionary rather than revolutionary. ( according to bbc news)

Well I also will be waiting for this new operating system of Microsoft but lets hope that it will not run slowly and fail to work at all with some programs and devices like windows vista does.
