Windows 7 Selling Points
With Windows 7 ditching Windows XP and Vista in favor of Windows 7 is an easy decision. Windows 7 goes beyond being a bag of old tricks or a reinvention of its predecessor.
Though Windows haters might paint Windows 7 as an attempt to redeem whatever is left of Vista’s lost glory, the truth is that Windows 7 is compelling enough to be its own Operating system.
Windows 7 Selling Points – Why YOU Should Consider Windows 7
- Up, up and away for the Boosted Speed. No Windows OS is as fast as Windows 7 in terms of performance and speed. Windows 7 is significantly faster than Vista. The ReadyBoost feature (also in Vista) uses just a USB flash drive or card to help boost a PC’s memory.
- Done with the pesky Updates of Device Drivers. Microsoft is on the right track with this Windows feature. Windows 7 takes the burden off the shoulders of users by automatically updating all the device drivers of the hardware installed in PCs.
- Connect them all with Homegroup Networking and share printers and files (all sorts) across the network.
- Enjoy endless streaming music through Windows Media Player’s ability to stream music in networked devices.
- A fast and slick User State Migration tool that easily upgrades and migrates files. Windows 7 uses the “hardlink migration” wherein the data is left in the exact same place on the hard disk and uses a series of redirect links to help Windows 7 find the files.
- Timesaving Jumplists are shortcuts that spring up with just a right click or an upwards swipe of the finger on the Taskbar icon. These are shortcuts of different applications that make things easier for users by giving users a list of recently accessed files. Plus you can add favorite files and links for eveyr application.
- Multi Touch Support. Windows 7’s magic Multitouch feature, which adds a whole new dimension.
- Nag Free User Account Control. Windows 7 has the UAC finally under its reins by making it more customized and sensitive to the user’s preferences.
- LCD and Big Screen friendly. The text and other onscreen items can be boosted to 150% of their normal size making it more readable and by just pressing Windows + P brings up a popup menu that has options to duplicate, extend or transfer your desktop on a second screen. Much easier to connect to Projectors, use dual screens, etc.
- Peek, Shake and Snap your way. Tweaks in graphical user interfaces such as being able to peer past all open windows, shaking your mouse to make things disappear in your desktop and resizing open windows by simply dragging them to the edge of the screen are amusing yet effective ways to make the user experience better.
Windows 7 has done A LOT to improve on Vista. You have to appreciate huge features like Multi-Touch, a completely revamped taskbar and a much easier to use user interface. Plus all of this has been done while improving performance and keeping security intact.
These are just some of Windows 7’s list of long-overdue enhancements and improvements that both ordinary and powerful users have been eagerly anticipating. These are the results of careful planning and studying and stem from Microsoft’s decision to finally touch base with their user needs and preferences and build something for them.
