Windows7

It's vacations now! The holidays are really very special for me,as I get loads of time to browse through the net. A few days back as I was lazily surfing the net,I stumbled upon a website mentioning about Windows 7. I became curious and searched about the topic. As usual, I went to my favourite online encyclopedia,Wikipedia to gather some info about the topic.

Whoa! I got to know that it's the forthcoming OS to be launched by Microsoft!
Before the official announcement about Windows 7,the working code name was first "Blackcomb" and then "Vienna". Perhaps "Blackcomb" or "Vienna" would have sounded better... But anyway, Windows 7 is primarily aimed at overcoming the weaknesses of "Vista" mainly regarding user controls. The secondary features include upgradation of accessories like calculator,paint and wordpad.
In calculator, a programming and statistical mode has been included; whereas in paint and wordpad a ribbon interface has been developed to make these accessories a bit more comprehensive.

In addition to these accessories, many items have been added to control panel likeAccelerators, ClearType Text Tuner, Display Color Calibration Wizard, Gadgets, Infrared, Recovery, Troubleshooting, Workspaces Center, Location and Other Sensors, Credential Manager , Biometric Devices, System Icons, Windows Solution Center, and Display. Microsoft also assures an improved boot performance in the new OS.
Other features are not yet out but they will be announced in the forthcoming days. So wait till June 2009(unofficial reports) or January 2010(official) to get full experience of this OS...
