Intrigued with the window 7, here are some pros and greatness in the offer by windows 7:
* Windows 7 improves the Tablet PC Input Panel to make faster corrections using new gestures, supports text prediction in the soft keyboard and introduces a new Math Input Panel for inputting math into programs that support MathML [78]. It recognizes handwritten math expressions and formulas. Additional language support for handwriting recognition can be gained by installing the respective MUI pack for that language
(also called language pack).
* Windows 7 includes Internet Explorer 8[79], .NET Framework 3.5 SP1[80] and a standalone XPS Viewer[81][82].
WordPad in Windows 7
* As opposed to the blank start-up screen in Windows Vista, Windows 7’s start-up screen consists of an animation featuring four colored light balls (one red, one yellow, one green, and one blue). They twirl around for a few seconds and then join together to form a glowing Windows logo. This only occurs on displays with a vertical resolution of 768 pixels or higher, as the animation is 1024x768. Any screen with a resolution below this displays the same startup screen that Vista used.
* The Starter Edition of Windows 7 can run an unlimited number of applications, compared to only 3 in Windows Vista Starter. Microsoft had initially intended to ship Windows 7 Starter Edition with this limitation, but Microsoft announced after the release of the Release Candidate that it would not be in the final release.[83]
* Calculator has been rewritten, with multiline capabilities including Programmer and Statistics modes along with unit conversion and date calculation. Calculator was also given a significant graphical facelift, a first since Windows 95 in 1995 and Windows NT 4.0 in 1996.
* Many new items have been added to Control Panel including: ClearType Text Tuner, Desktop Gadgets, Recovery, Troubleshooting, Location and Other Sensors, Credential Manager, Biometric Devices, System Icons, Action Center, and Display.[84]
* Paint and WordPad both have the new ribbon user interface. Paint supports opening (but not saving) transparent PNG and ICO files, touch screens and realistic brushes.
* Resource Monitor includes numerous new features, including an improved RAM usage display, display of TCP/IP ports being listened to, filtering processes using networking, filtering processes with disk activity, and listing and searching process handles (e.g. files used by a process) and loaded modules (files required by an executable file, e.g. DLL files).
* For developers, Windows 7 includes a new networking API with support for building SOAP based web services in native code (as opposed to .NET based WCF web services)[85], new features to shorten application install times, reduced UAC prompts, simplified development of installation packages,[86] and improved globalization support through a new Extended Linguistic Services API.[87]
* A new font "Gabriola" is included.[88] There is also Office Open XML and ODF support in WordPad.[89]
The new Action Center which replaces Windows Security Center
* When a user right-clicks a disc image file, such as an ISO file, the user can click "Burn disc image" and the file will be copied to the disc of the user’s choice. Support for image verification is included in the feature. In previous versions of Microsoft Windows, users had to install third-party software to perform disc image burning.[90][91]
* If an application crashes twice, Windows 7 will automatically attempt to apply a shim. If an application fails to install a similar self correcting fix, a tool that asks some questions about the application launches.[92]
* Windows 7 includes a TIFF IFilter optional component that enables indexing of TIFF documents by first performing optical character recognition (OCR), thereby making it is possible to search through the scanned text in TIFF format.
* Windows 7 includes power-saving features, such as adaptive display brightness, which dims a laptop’s display when the laptop has not been used for a while. Powercfg.exe /Energy generates an HTML report of the computer’s power saving efficiency and checks which devices are preventing the computer from entering the sleep state. Windows 7 can individually suspend USB hubs and supports selective suspend for all in-box USB class drivers [93]
* Unlike Windows Vista, window borders and the taskbar do not turn opaque when a window is maximized with Windows Aero applied. Instead they remain translucent.
* The Command Prompt now adheres to the current Windows theme, instead of showing controls from the Windows Classic theme.
* Internet Spades, Internet Backgammon and Internet Checkers, which were removed from Windows Vista, were restored in Windows 7.
* Windows 7 includes Windows Media Player 12, along with new codecs for playing formats such as H.264, MPEG4-SP, ASP/Divx/Xvid, MJPEG, DV, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC-LC), AA.[94] Transcode support has also been added to the shell, with the ability to leverage new hardware acceleration and encryption chipsets.
* Users will also be able to disable many more Windows components than was possible in Windows Vista. New additions to this list of components include Internet Explorer 8, Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, Windows Search, and the Windows Gadget Platform.[95]
* Windows XP Mode is a fully functioning copy of Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit) running in a virtual machine provided by Microsoft Virtual PC 2010 (as opposed to Hyper-V) running on top of Windows 7. Through the use of the RDP protocol, it allows applications incompatible with Windows 7 to be run on the underlying Windows XP virtual machine, but still to appear to be part of the Windows 7 desktop,[96] thereby sharing the native Start Menu of Windows 7 as well as participating in file type associations. It is not distributed with Windows 7 media, but is offered as a free download to users of the Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions from Microsoft’s web site. Users of Home Premium that want Windows XP functionality on their systems can download Virtual PC for free, but must provide their own licensed copy of Windows XP, and will not have the virtual-physical desktop integration offered by XP Mode. The XP Mode feature is intended for consumers not enterprises, as it offers no central management capabilities—Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (Med-V) will be targeted at the enterprise market.
* Native support for Hyper-V virtual machines through the inclusion of VMBus integration drivers.[97]
