We take a look at Windows 7

Windows 7. In some neat summary: It's Vista, but the view we wanted in 2007. Pulido, working, ready to throw in, and with the endless UAC indications banished forever what the hell they are intended to send well-intentioned, but ultimately, attempts to help us insufferable not know exactly when but we're pretty sure Oprah record a chat session is presented here.

Unlike Microsoft's previous operating system, Windows 7 is a massive public beta. You may have downloaded, and if not, at least at the time of writing you can get a product key on the website, where a 'friend' that happened throughout time have downloaded. Even if you do not want to risk a beta OS on your computer, this is a good sign that we are not going to be waiting a long time to complete the code and will be incredibly worth the short wait. Even now, it's incredibly stable, fully functional, more reliable and has the right to be.

This not only means that the final version should be good to get out of the box, every developer and hardware manufacturer out there is playing with the same code developed for the drivers, updating and installation of systems in general, is preparing to go . This is particularly important because many of the initial problems were the result of seeing the rest of the industry is slow to adapt to it, compared to the problems with the operating system itself. Not only is the basic platform of the same, thereby reducing the potential compatibility issues, there is no excuse for anyone not ready. Our laptops now feature 3D graphics support to handle Aero. Our teams of laughter in the face of system requirements. Put him on netbooks? Perhaps it might work in toasters.

The most visible change is the new interface of Windows Vista 7. The Start menu is more or less the same, but the taskbar is a continuum Quick Launch bar that keeps all of its programs in front of you. Changes things more than expected, especially if you keep forgetting to do things like putting your photos into a gallery, or browse with multiple windows open at once. In general, change is good - but can be problematic at times. In particular, it is difficult to distinguish between clicking on an icon to start a program, an active program, and an active program with multiple windows. Several applications also feature minor peculiarities. As just one example, if you are using Firefox and closed after a download, clicking on the icon will only appear from the table of downloads. Vista simply a new window. Easy.

Most of the interface changes are focused on the adaptation of the standard interface. Windows 7 is much better in the service of content and links to recently used folders, such as the jump from the lists at the top of their menus. Another feature that is lost each time you return to Windows 7 is Vista's upgrade service panel, where you can enter and turn off things like an icon in Control Panel or upgrade, or at least tell us they do not appear unless you have something to tell you. This eliminates the large amount of property, if it is true that our proposed method and the transmission of pain to any shock programmers who insist on giving their bloody update a program on our computers' memory. (Do not ask for the second offense ...)

Finally, at least for now, the windows Windows 7 really is much smarter. Drag one of the top of the screen is maximized. Break and returns to its original size. It's a snap to fill half a screen, or "look" through it on your desktop, all at the touch of a key or mouse to explore.

Windows 7, while the operating system updates itself, not everything in Vista has made the cut. The Ballyhoo well, but rarely used the sidebar is gone, for instance, usurped by the almost equally neglected gadgets, which now has the race instead of the desktop. Tools such as Photo Gallery, Windows Mail, Windows Calendar and Windows Movie Maker are also missing in action, with the idea that just download the free Windows Live package, which fits a variety of online services for Microsoft. This is not a problem, however, and this means that when you download, at least you have the latest version with new features. It also means that Microsoft has more of an incentive to keep building them instead of holding the 8 for Windows.

Despite the cuts, most applications still classic and updated for the new version. If you like the tape in Microsoft Office 2007, you will be happy to see its inclusion in the new WordPad. If not, well, bad news. The painting has also been an update, dragging it kicking and screaming in, oh, at least 1992. In this heady pace of progress, we're ready to rock the world of art with the latest image editing about five minutes before the heat of the sun kills everything. So it's something we look forward to.

In theory, then we are in a good news. However, the devil is in the details - and that will always be subjective. Speaking personally, and have used Windows 7 for a couple of months, I will be gathering at the launch. Showstopper my only fault is that of a smaller volume of my control - I said that Windows 7 can not find my sound card, but this is not enough to prevent the reproduction of sound.

If there is one disappointment is that there is nothing in Windows 7, which leaves me personally do anything new or even a new form. Speech and handwriting recognition will not take over from the old mouse and keyboard at any time before, I'm too lazy to make proper use of My Documents on the desktop when it is available, and only happens if the evidence of my monitor is an unsightly fingerpint support multitouch. Definitely, there are features for users with more ambitious - new version of Media Center is particularly good - but overall, all things familiar.

However, here is what is important. We know a good way. It is known that after a couple of minutes, you're ready to use it and continue with your day. On several occasions when Vista was on the road with its new features and amazing ways to do everything that Windows 7 keeps to himself and brand distractions. That's what a mature platform with new features to be condemned, and why I am going to install on the computers of my choice, instead of the need I felt when I was talking about Vista and DX10 milestone changes. It is not just a shiny new, but a second much-needed change to the operating system Vista will be the standard PC for a while yet.
