Windows 7 will streamline and simplify the tasks people do most often. Improved navigation, a new taskbar and a streamlined user interface put commonly used resources within easy reach. Windows 7 will likely be released for sale in mid to late 2009 or early 2010, but nothing is ever certain with Microsoft. Windows 7 will automatically create a “Home Group” of networked PCs, printers, wireless photo frames and other devices. Documents, music, photos and other media stored in “libraries” on any of the networked PCs and devices can easily be searched and accessed from another Windows 7 PC on the network.
Windows 7 will offer more choice in how users interact with their PCs, such as through multitouch gestures. With Device Stage, Windows 7 enables people to get more from the devices they use most often with their PC, such as cameras, phones and printers. Windows 7 will be a from-the-ground-up packaging of the Windows codebase; partially source, but not binary compatible with previous versions of Windows. Performance of native applications can be increased, distribution sizes can be cut down, functionality can be added without the worry of breaking old applications, and the overall end-user experience can be significantly improved. Windows 7 will not be nearly as disruptive as Vista was to XP.
Microsoft’s early 2009 target for people to begin toying with Windows 7 was striking because the Redmond, Wash.-based software maker promised deadlines it couldn’t keep when it was developing Vista. The company is trying hard to avoid a similar debacle this time. Microsoft has new desktop and theme tools for customizing the desktop. Now you will decide what applications will go there. Microsoft didn’t get prosecuted for merely being a monopoly or for bundling apps with their OS. They were prosecuted for abusing their monopoly to force competitors out of the market with unsavory tactics including threatening their own hardware partners.
Microsoft has publicly demonstrated that Windows 7 will have touchscreen features, and also said it would include technology linking its Windows Live services directly to the OS. Executives also have hinted that Windows 7 will include native virtualization technology. Microsoft announced that if everything goes according to plan (like that ever happens in the world of software) then Windows 7 will be available sometime in 2010. That gives Microsoft more than three years to round up all of their new features, plan them out, develop them, and test them.
