Steven Sinofsky, senior Vice-President discovered much new functionality and the new GUI "Scenic" for Windows 7.

Windows Vista and its nice graphical effects could already be thinking about Mac OS. Windows 7 adds another layer to the risk of irritating allergic to apples. The operation of the taskbar looks quite at the dock in Mac OS X.

The Windows 7 taskbar is not the only change. The Start menu will display the latest directly open documents or applications created by the main menu. Finally, the Windows Sidebar (Windows Sidebar) disappeared. The gadgets will therefore put on the desktop, anywhere ... as KDE 4!

The touch is fashionable, and Microsoft has already shown that surface mastered the concept. Windows 7 obviously cannot be silent on this trend, and manage, as Microsoft had shown in previous occasions, touch-screens. The integration will thrust: applications like Paint will benefit. Imagine yourself in the process of drawing on Paint, to zoom in with your fingers.

Windows Explorer also evolves. It will offer a new feature called Bookstores. Its purpose is to gather in one place all the files of the same type found on the local disk or on machines. It is an extension of the idea of search folders in Windows Vista, and more successful.

We should not take Windows 7 for a simple graphical refresh of Windows Vista. According to Microsoft, Windows 7 should be faster and more responsive, and use less memory, CPU or disk access.

Indeed, Steven Sinofsky suggested that NETBOOK would be capable of running Windows 7, BUT he didn’t mentioned what hardware that NETBOOK needs to have :>.
