77 Features Of Windows® 7 That You Should Know About

Wow! Awesome! Unbelievable! Fantastic! Cool! I didn’t know it had that! These are some of the comments I have been hearing from clients, classmates, and myself after I educate and demo the features below. As for me, a hard core IT enthusiast, I have been pleasantly surprised at the features of the Windows 7 operating system. 

If you have a Windows 7 machine as you read this article, you will become as excited as I have by trying these features first-hand. Without the live touch and feel, you may not fully understand these great features. It’s best if you are sitting at a Windows 7 computer when reading this so that you can interact with each feature. As the saying goes, “Try it. You’ll like it.” Not at a computer right now, read on for a great education!

It can be said that Windows 7 bears a striking similarity to Apple Mac’s OSx operating system. It builds on

Windows Vista’s positives and eliminates many of that OS’s negatives. It adds new functionality, is less resourcehungry than Vista, and it starts and shuts down noticeably faster. Whether or not you’re upgrading from Vista or moving up from Windows XP, you’ll need to know how to make the most of it in your environment. 

Here are tips and tricks that every IT Professional must know. Windows 7 is crammed with lesser-known, but still important, new and enhanced features that, taken together, deliver improved performance and productivity, better troubleshooting, stronger security, and a whole lot more.

To say that Windows 7 is a polished version of Vista is a true statement, but it does not fully describe the redesign, enhancement, and additional features Microsoft has put into their new operating system. From Windows 3.1 to Windows Vista, the Windows operating system has taken many giant leaps. And while Vista received a lukewarm reception from some users, Windows 7 is likely to be remembered for addressing those criticisms; and much more. Microsoft seems to have paid attention to the feedback it received about Vista and created an OS that is not only stable, but also very capable.

In fact, there aren’t many changes to the overall look of Windows 7 when compared to Windows Vista. If you have some experience with Vista, you will feel comfortable with many similarities such as navigating around the desktop using Control Panel and Start Menu items. So to find out what is new in Windows 7, just stay tuned to this blog and see for yourself. My HotKey list will be the last of it all (#77).

Don't forget, its 77 of these hot features and you won't love to miss any. :)
