It is latest operating system released by Microsoft in line with the series of windows versions released earlier. Most interestingly it comes less than 3 years from the release of Windows Vista. It is said that it is designed for being more focused and functionality specific. It advances on touch and hand-written technology , supports multi-core processors, virtual hard disks etc.
The windows movie maker, calendar, the classic start menu , windows photo gallery have been removed in this version. But all these are available for free in what the are promoting as Windows Live Essentials.
Windows 7 will come in 6 different editions. But, only the Home premium and Professional will be available for retails around the globe. The other may go Enterprise use or to the developing countries. PC to TV and vice versa compatibility are available with this. The new feature of recording TV programs in our absence is also an interesting feature. It’s not going to be long before it becomes a household name I guess.
