The Microsoft Windows 7 Operating System

The latest Microsoft operating system is simply known as Windows 7. Although not available in stores until 22 October 2009, many people have had the opportunity to prove through its open beta stage and Microsoft doing the release candidate available for free download. Windows Vista was very buggy if released, so while Microsoft will not fix it and make it very stable with Service Pack 1, which still has bad reviews from users and makes inefficient use of resources. So, to try to remedy these problems, Microsoft is releasing its next operating system only two years after his last.

From Windows 95 to Windows ME, Windows looks not really change. Windows XP was a major reform in the desktop theme, however, his successor as Windows Vista. Windows 7 will also bring a new theme, which looks much smoother and sound that even Vista does.

Of course, a new look is not the only big change in Windows 7. Windows 7 also runs much smoother, making better use of system resources. In fact, many people have even said it will run well on netbooks. That's good news for Microsoft, because before, the Linux operating systems are a popular choice for netbooks and enabling them to capture more of that market.

Other features include the Windows 7 desktop shortcuts completely new to the management of open windows. One is if you have several windows that display on your desktop, at the same time, so if you grab and shake in the window, all windows in the background is minimized. Also, if you drag a window to the top of the screen, its size will increase to take the whole screen. Also, if you drag a window full-size top of the screen, its size is reduced. Another very useful shortcut to manage the size of windows, is that if you drag a window to the side of the screen, its size will change to assume that half of the screen, which is very useful if you have to take into has two windows at once.

Another excellent feature added to Windows 7 taskbar is its greater functionality of Vista. The way Windows is grouped into it is much greater, and the preview window feature has also increased, allowing it to close windows by clicking the "x" in preview.

Another complaint that has been increasingly common as the user moves away from using Internet Explorer to alternatives such as Mozilla Firefox and Opera, is that you can not uninstall Internet Explorer. Now Windows 7 will allow you to remove Internet Explorer, to the delight of many.

As you can see improvements in Windows 7 in Windows Vista, possibly will make the operating system of choice for businesses and individual users alike. So far, while Windows Vista is very popular, many people still stuck with Windows XP. If Microsoft really can get users to upgrade to Windows 7, then probably there will be a very nice increase in market share.
