Features New to Windows 7

Oops! Sorry to be late! I had lost touch with my blog as we had our end semester exams. I was really very busy preparing for it. Anyway my exams are now over and I am now able to now spare some time on studying more about Windows 7. The pirated copies of Windows 7 build 7000 are now available as a 2.44 GB download from Pirate Bay BitTorrent site.



As Windows 7 is still in its stages of development, the latest build developed is the Windows 7 beta build 7000. Some new changes have been made in this build which make it very different and user-friendly than Windows Vista. I am now listing some of the most prominent changes that make Windows 7 more advanced:



1. Desktop Slideshow: The Windows explorer now has introduced the desktop slideshow feature that can change the desktop background (or wallpaper as you say) in a designated amount of time.






2. Taskbar: The new Windows 7 taskbar is 10 pixels taller than Windows Vista taskbar for a better user control over the taskbar. There is also a special colour effect for the running applications.


3. Font: Some new changes have been made to the font features of the Windows. A new font "Gabriola" has been added.


In addition to these features some more interesting features like touch, speech and handwriting recognition have been introduced in this build. A virtual hard disk system has also been introduced for Microsoft Virtual PCs.
