Microsoft Corporation has presented a demo version of the new Windows 7 operating system, which will replace Windows Vista. The new features of the beta version of the new operating system were fully appreciated by more than 6,000 software developers who gathered yesterday at the Professional Developers Conference 2008 in Los Angeles.
Annoyed Vista users will soon be able to breathe easy: the new system will allow them to choose the number of security warnings that Vista displayed when trying to run any program. However, Microsoft representatives admit that they slightly overreacted in an attempt to increase the security level of the system and tested the final version of Vista only on developers, and not on ordinary users. This led to numerous complaints about Vista, for which the company's representatives officially apologized at the conference, and noted that when developing the new system, they took into account all the wishes and advice of users, CNN reports.
In general, the changes in the new system will affect the speed of tasks, mobility, design, compatibility of applications and programs, interface, as well as optimization of the environment.
Microsoft is making a significant step towards system personalization: only user-selected icons will be displayed on the improved taskbar and in the improved system tray. Switching between open documents and running programs in the system tray will become much more convenient. For the convenience of users, a Jumpplist has been created that provides quick access to recently saved files or frequently used programs. A new Libraries utility was demonstrated, which collects similar files scattered in different folders and places them on a local network in a shared folder. For example, it is very convenient to organize family photo albums in this way.
Another advantage of the new platform over the old one will be a significant acceleration of its work. Unlike Vista, Windows 7 will run faster and require less RAM to install. At the presentation, Windows 7 was launched on an inexpensive Lenovo miniature netbook with one gigabyte of RAM, an Intel Atom processor and a small battery, the New York Times writes. Many users can confirm that Vista on a computer of this class either does not start at all, or runs extremely slowly. This suggests that at the current beta stage, the new operating system requires much less resources than Windows Vista.
In addition, Windows 7 features an efficient search system, an improved scheme for installing and configuring local networks, and a file sharing system. The convenience of working with local networks in Windows 7 will allow Microsoft to regain its lost positions in this field: many users dissatisfied with the difficulty of connecting to local networks in Windows Vista and XP switched to Apple products, where such a problem did not exist.
The new operating system will also allow you to work with a computer using touch controls: touchscreen navigation has been announced, the National Post writes. With touchscreen monitors, users will be able to navigate through the contents of their computers on the same principle as the famous iPhone.
In addition to significant improvements to the platform itself, Microsoft intends to make changes to the well-known office software package - Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. From now on, these programs will run on the basis of a web browser and will not require pre-installation of software on a personal computer. It will also be possible to edit documents collectively online. This step is dictated by Microsoft's desire to bypass its direct competitor, Google Inc., which has long provided users with similar features.
Analysts are confident that after the tangible failure of Windows Vista, the release of the new Windows 7 operating system will be a key moment for Microsoft.
The official release of the full version of Windows 7 is scheduled for the end of 2009. L'expérience mobile est un élément clé pour les joueurs modernes, et la plateforme excelle dans ce domaine. Que vous utilisiez un
