Product Description:
 

In July 2009, Windows 7 was released, bringing with it some new features, but sticking to the aero look of its predecessor, Windows Vista. Windows 7 features several new features, although for the most part it was intended to be a "more focused" version of the Windows operating system. The main goal of the Windows 7 design was to offer compatibility with the multitude of hardware and applications that Vista was already compatible with.

The Windows 7 Operating System (OS) offers multitouch capability, as well as a new taskbar that was a part of the Windows shell, the main graphical interface of the Windows OS. Windows 7 offers a more stable operating system over earlier versions, such as Windows XP and Vista. Before purchasing Windows 7, first learn about the various software editions available and the features offered by the Windows 7 OS.

Different Windows 7 Editions

Windows 7 comes in a variety of editions, including Home Basic, Professional, and Enterprise, among others. The edition a shopper buys primarily depends on his or her current computer system capabilities and personal needs. The table below describes the different editions of Windows 7 and the differences between each.

All editions of Windows 7 receive Microsoft Mainstream Support until January 2015, as well as Extended Support in the form of security updates until January 2020.

Windows 7 Processors

Windows 7 comes in two versions, 32- and 64-bit processors, with 64-bit processors representing the latest innovation in processors at the time. The section below details both processor types.

• 32-bit: Created by Intel Corporation and manufactured by both Intel and AMD. The 32-bit processor was the most common processor type until 2011 when 64-bit processors came to the forefront of computing power.
• 64-bit: The next step in processors following IA-32. The 64-bit processor can support a wider amount of virtual and physical memory than a 32-bit processor. Originally created by AMD, the processor is manufactured by AMD, Intel, and others.

Windows 7 Features:

Windows 7, while not pushing the envelope on the features it does offer, helps to focus the Windows operating system somewhat. And while not a lot was added with its release, there have been some innovative changes, especially in the taskbar. The section below provides more information on some of the features offered with the Windows 7 OS.

• Touch and Handwriting Recognition: The ability of a computer to interpret intelligible handwritten input from paper documents, photographs, touch-screens, and other devices. This can occur through such mediums as a scanner or even a pen-based surface.
• Virtual Hard Disks: Allows multiple operating systems to be connected to and reside on a single machine that acts as the host.
• Multi-Core Processors: A single computing component that has two or more central processing units, or cores, that act independently of each other. This allows for better multitasking.
• Control Panel: The Control Panel allows users the ability to control such aspects of their computer as the look and feel of the display, various gadgets they have installed, computer recovery and troubleshooting, and system icons, among other areas dealing with the everyday operation of their desktop environment.
• Windows Action Center: Formerly the Windows Security Center, the Windows Action Center allows users to control the security and maintenance of their computer.
• Windows Imaging Component-Enabled Image Decoders: Enables raw image thumbnails, as well as previewing and metadata displays that function in Windows Explorer.
• Taskbar: The taskbar is the single biggest change, at least visually, from past toolbars. The Windows 7 taskbar allows for the pinning of applications and programs for easy access. It also allows for the reordering of taskbar buttons.
• Windows Aero Snap: Allows for a window dragged to the top of the screen to be maximized. This also includes dragging the windows to either the left or right side of the screen, which snaps those widows for comparison.
• Video Modes: Video modes supported include 16-bit sRGB, 24-bit sRGB, 30-bit sRGB, 30-bit with extended color gamut sRGB, and 48-bit scRGB.
• USB 2.0: An industry standard, a Universal Serial Bus port allows for USB cables and devices, such as keyboards, mouses, headphones, mouses, external hard drives, and more. USB 3.0 is not included due to delays in the finalization of the USB 3.0 standard.
• Games: Windows 7 offers a variety of games, some of which had been removed from the Windows Vista OS. New games were also added, including some that allow opponents to play online.
• Internet Explorer 8: The default browser for Windows 7, Windows Internet Explorer 8 is the predecessor of Internet Explorer 7.
• Windows Media Player 12: Released along with Windows 7, Windows Media Player 12 allows for video watching, as well as listening to audio. Videos and music can be stored in a library accessible through the media player.
• Windows Virtual PC: Released alongside Windows 7 and supports only Windows 7 host operating systems. Can run on PCs without hardware support and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Website.
• Remote Desktop Protocol: Proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft to allow users to operate their computer through the use of a graphical interface on another computer through a network connection.

• DirectX 11: Released around the same time as Windows 7, DirectX is used in multimedia applications, most notably games and programing on Microsoft platforms.
