Why Windows 7 ?(Win 7 Advantages)

Why Windows 7?

Windows 7 - October 22nd Release Microsoft

This one question which will arise in everyone minds when the new operating system is released. We are very used to the Windows XP operating system with its User friendly interface and interactivity. We would not like to shift our focus to different one.

Certain reason why we should move to Windows 7:

1) In coming years Microsoft will stop supporting Window XP and again we will need to suffer like we have been using Windows 98 when it was completely out of support for drivers and other hardware compatibility.
2) Windows Vista which was a flagship of Microsoft to make the GUI features of Windows more interactivity and user friendly, which it was successful, but lost in the performance field.
3) The technology is emerging and we need to be in-par with it. Touch Screen, Cloud Computing and many more.

These are certain reason why we should move to Windows 7. Microsoft has been gathering feedback from end-users, worked hard to make the new Operating System in par with the End user requirements.

Windows 7 is available in 3 features:

• Windows 7 Home Premium
• Windows 7 Professional Full
• Windows 7 Ultimate

Here you go some of the features or Windows 7:

• Faster, more responsive performance
• Reduce
• Streaming media in your home
• HomeGroup
• Improved taskbar and full-screen previews
• Jump Lists
• Desktop enhancements
• Windows Search
• Better device management
• View Available Network (VAN)
• Recover your data easily with automatic backup to your home and business network
• Work in the language of your choice or switch between any of thirty-five languages
• Watch many of your favorite TV shows for free when and where you want with Internet TV

Some of the Features inside the operating system are:

WordPad
Windows 7 has made all its application in compatible with MS Office 2007 look. All the it major application follow the same menu options and many features which are MS office 2007.

A new ribbon—the strip across the top of the window that shows what a program can do—makes WordPad easier to use, with choices displayed out in the open rather than in menus. WordPad also has more formatting options, such as highlighting, bullets, line breaks, and new colors. With all of this—plus picture insertion, improved print preview, and zoom—WordPad is a powerful tool for creating basic word-processing documents.



Accessibility
Windows 7 gives you more ways to interact with your PC by taking advantage of new strides in speech recognition and touch technology.
Speech
Start an e-mail by speaking the recipient's name, surf the web without a keyboard, or dictate your documents.


Magnifier


On-Screen Keyboard
With Windows Touch and the right hardware, you can also input text by tapping directly on the screen. And word prediction speeds things up: type the first few letters of a word, and Windows will finish it for you.


Narrator and visual notifications
Windows can also replace sound alerts with visual cues like a screen flash, so system alerts are noticeable even when they're not heard.


Calculator
Calculator a fresh look and new features, including new Programmer and Statistics modes. Unit conversion translates Celsius to Fahrenheit, ounces to grams, and joules to BTUs. Handy calculation templates can help you compute stuff like fuel economy and auto lease payments.


Desktop
Windows 7it is easier to get more done on the desktop.


New ways to juggle windows
Windows 7 comes with three simple yet powerful new features called Aero Shake, Aero Peek, and Snap to help you instantly clear through desktop clutter.


Spectacular new wallpapers


Retooled taskbar
Windows 7, the taskbar has been completely redesigned to help you work smarter, cut clutter, and get more done


Improved gadgets
Gadgets, the popular mini-programs introduced in Windows Vista, are now more flexible and fun.


Paint
A new ribbon—the strip across the top of the window that shows what Paint can do—makes this tried-and-true program easier to use, with choices displayed out in the open rather than in menus.
And Paint's new realistic digital “brushes” will bring your pictures to life in shades of watercolor, crayon, and calligraphy.
Paint is now touch-ready too, so if you've got a touchscreen PC, you'll soon be finger painting right on the screen. You can even use two fingers to trace two separate strokes.


Snap
Snap is a quick (and fun) new way to resize open windows, simply by dragging them to the edges of your screen.


Snipping Tool
Snipping Tool captures a screen shot of anything on your desktop, like a picture or a section of webpage.


Sticky Notes
Sticky Notes just got more useful. In Windows 7, you can format a note’s text, change its color with a click, and speedily resize, collapse, and flip through notes. Sticky Notes is available only in the Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate editions of Windows 7.


User Account Control
User Account Control (UAC) helps defend your PC against hackers and malicious software. Any time a program wants to make a major change to your computer, UAC lets you know and asks for permission.
Windows 7 programs and tasks require your consent. If you have administrator privileges on your PC, you can also fine-tune UAC's notification settings in Control Panel

Microsoft is going to unveil it in new Operating System On October 22nd 2009. This is world wide released with HCL being the company to ship the operating system with it Desktop models. Windows 7 not only support all the Vista Functionality but also 64 bit and 2008 server Windows functionality too.

Windows 7 is the latest version of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, netbooks, tablet PCs and media center PCs. Windows 7 is intended to be a more focused, incremental upgrade to the Windows line, with the goal of being fully compatible with applications and hardware with which Windows Vista is already compatible.

Windows 7 includes a number of new features, touch and handwriting recognition, support for virtual hard disks, improved performance on multi-core processors, boot performance, DirectAccess, and kernel improvements.

Windows 7 adds support for systems using multiple graphics cards from different vendors, a new version of Windows Media Center, a Gadget for Windows Media Center, improved media features, and a redesigned Calculator with multiline capabilities including Programmer and Statistics modes along with unit conversion.



Many new items have been added to the Control Panel, including ClearType Text Tuner, Display Color Calibration Wizard, Gadgets, Recovery, Troubleshooting, Workspaces Center, Location and Other Sensors, Credential Manager, Biometric Devices, System Icons, and Display, Windows Security Center has been renamed to Windows Action Center which encompasses both security and maintenance of the computer.



Internet Spades, Internet Backgammon and Internet Checkers, which were removed from Windows Vista, were restored in Windows 7. Windows 7 will include Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Media Player 12.



The default setting for User Account Control in Windows 7 has been criticized for allowing untrusted software to be launched with elevated privileges by exploiting a trusted application. Microsoft's Windows kernel engineer Mark Russinovich acknowledged the problem, but noted that there are other vulnerabilities that do not rely on the new setting.

Top20 Tips To Keep Your System Fast....

1. Wallpapers: They slow your whole system down, so if you're willing to compromise, have a basic plain one instead!

2. Drivers: Update your hardware drivers as frequently as possible. New drivers tend to increase system speed especially in the case of graphics cards, their drivers are updated by the manufacturer very frequently!

3. Minimizing: If you want to use several programs at the same time then minimize those you are not using. This helps reduce the overload on RAM.

4. Boot Faster: The 'starting Windows 98/XP' message on startup can delay your booting for a couple of seconds. To get rid of this message go to c:\ and find the file Msdos.sys. Remove the Read-Only option. Next, open it in Notepad or any other text editor. Finally, go to the text 'Options' within the file and make the following changes: Add BootDelay=0. To make your booting even faster, set add Logo=0 to remove the Windows logo at startup.

5. Restart only Windows: When restarting your PC, hold down Shift to only restart Windows rather than the whole system which will only take a fraction of the time.

6. Turn Off Animations: Go to Display Settings from the Control Panel and switch to the Effects Tab. Now turn off Show Windows Content While Dragging and Smooth Edges on Screen Fonts. This tip is also helpful with Windows XP because of the various fade/scroll effects.

7. Faster Start-Menu Access: Go to the Start menu and select Run. Now type Regedit and hit Enter. The Registry Editor will appear on the screen. Now, open the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. You should see a MenuShowDelay value. If you don't then do the following: right click on a blank space in the right pane and select New\String. Change the name in the new value to MenuShowDelay. Now that we have the MenuShowDelay value, double click on it and enter 0 in the value data field. This sets the start menu delay to 0 milliseconds.

8. Resolutions: If you are willing to do anything for faster performance from your PC, then try lowering your display resolution. The lower it is, the faster your PC.

9. Turn off Active Desktop: Go to your Display Properties and switch to the Web tab. Uncheck View My Active Desktop As a Web Page. Since the Active Desktop option under Windows 98 uses a lot of system resources, this option can have a dramatic effect on the speed of the whole system.

10. Defragment Often: Windows 98's Defrag tool uses Application Acceleration from Intel which means that when you defragment your drive, data is physically arranged on the drive so that applications will load faster.


11. Take your PC to Bed: Using the Advanced Power Management feature under Windows 98 gives you the option to use the sleep command. That way, you can send your PC to sleep instead of shutting it down and then restarting it. It's as simple as pressing a button and then pressing the same button to wake it up. You can tell Windows after how many minutes/hours of inactivity to automatically sleep the machine in the Advanced Power Management section of the Control Panel.

12. Faster Internet Access: If you use the internet for reference and the sites you visit are rarely updated then try the following. In IE (the same can be done in Netscape) go to Tools, Internet Options. Next, click on Settings... in the Temporary Internet Files section. Finally, select Never for the first option and double the amount of storage space to use, click OK!

13. Benchmarking: Benchmarking can be very useful when run frequently. It can tell you how your PC's components are performing and then compare them to other machines like yours. For example, when you overclock your PC, you want to know how much more speed you have and whether it is stable. All this and more can be discovered using benchmarking. An excellent piece of software for doing this job is SiSoft Sandra which can be found in the Downloads File Archive!

14. Refresh the Taskbar without restarting: If you in some way change the taskbar, either in Regedit or elsewhere, you can refresh the task bar without restarting. Hold down Ctrl Alt Del, and double click on Explorer. Say Yes to close Explorer, but no to closing Windows. This will refresh the Taskbar and system tray.

15. Quick CD Eject: Instead of pushing the button on your drive, right-click your CD drive letter in My Computer and click on Eject. This will also remove any icons that have become associated with the CD drive.

16. Start Up Programs: Windows can be slowed down when programs run on start up. To eliminate this, check your Start up folder. You can access it from the start menu: Start, Programs, Start Up. Another way to eliminate programs from loading even before Windows actually starts is by doing the following: Click on Start, then Run. Type msconfig. It will take quite a long time for this program to load, but when you finally see it on your screen, explore the different tabs. They all have to do with how quickly your PC boots, so select what you want, and uncheck what you don't want!

17. Fonts: When Windows starts, it loads every single font in the Fonts folder. Therefore, the more fonts you have, the slower the booting process. To get rid of unwanted fonts, simply go to the Fonts folder under c:\windows and remove whatever you don't want. Fonts that have a red letter 'A' as their icon are system fonts, so don't delete them.

18. Stretching Wallpapers: Don't "stretch" your wallpaper in Windows 98 since it actually slows Windows down when you drag icons around on the desktop.

19. RAM Matters: If you have less than 32MB then you should seriously think of upgrading it to at least 64MB. Windows runs much more smoothly with 64MB or higher and tends to use less hard disk space for virtual memory.

20. Partitioning: A very nice little thing you can do to boost system performance. By partitioning your hard drive, splitting one physical drive into several logical ones, you can gain several advantages. 1. If you get a virus or you accidentally format a drive, not all will be lost. 2. By placing the swap file (Win386.swp) on a separate drive, The swap file will be less fragmented and thus, faster. 3. Place Windows on a separate drive and whenever you need to reinstall it, you rest assured that your data is safe on a separate drive. Partitioning can be done using a few programs such as FDisk which comes with DOS. However, FDisk formats everything on the hard disk before partitioning. Alternatively, you can use Partition Magic from Power Quest to partition your hard disk without losing your data

Increase the speed of your internet connection without a new modem

As more and more people get quick connections to the internet, such as cable or ADSL, it becomes apparent to the user of a simple dial-up modem that the World Wide Web can quickly turn into the World Wide Wait. Here a trick that can help speed up your current modem without shelling out the big bucks.

There is a setting located in your windows registry called the Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU). This determines the size of the packets of data sent between your and your server. In Windows 95, this setting is has a value of 1,500 bytes when the actual size of internet packets is 1,000 bytes. This can sometimes slow things down. To remedy the situation, simply follow these steps:
In the registry editor (Start > Run > regedit.exe), navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans.

In the NetTrans folder you should find another folder named "000x" in which x represents a fourth digit. Right-click on the "000x" folder and select New and StringValue. Rename the item that appears in the panel on the right side to MaxMTU, then double-click it to bring up the Edit String box and give it a velue of 1002.

Remember to keep playing with the MaxMTU value until you feel that your internet connection has greatly sped up. Some people report huge speed gains using this tricks, while others hardly notice a difference. In any case, it's definetly worth a try.
