7 Fabulous Features of Windows 7
There are a whole lot of new features but these 7 takes the cake:
1. Search. From the start menu, the new and improved search function allows you to open and locate any file from music to documents to pictures in as quick as 2 clicks.
2. Preview screen. Making multi-tasking so much easier, you can now open as many windows as you like and you can easily switch from one window to the next and preview a window by hovering the mouse over it without actually having to open the window right away. Less loading time.
3. Snap. Open two windows at once with the Snap feature which allows you to view and work on two documents at once. Best for copying or comparing two documents with each other.
4. Personalize it. There are dozens of desktop themes and helpful gadgets that allows you to make your PC entirely your own. An easy desktop slide show function can turn your stored photos into your moving wallpaper.
5. Device Stage. Easily connect to printers, cameras, and other external hardware (wireless or not) by accessing only one window. Wireless networks can identify your current location and automatically connect to your printer at home or your printer at work. No need to do this manually.
6. Improved taskbar. Get around your programs faster by pinning your most often used applications straight into your taskbar so you can launch them with one click.
7. Improved security. User account control in Windows 7 reduce the likelihood of your PC being infected by malicious software by alerting you if an unknown program tries to run on your PC.
