Microsoft unleashes new Windows 7
21-10-2009
Personal computers are about to get a makeover with the launch of the latest Windows operating system. Microsoft is hoping the successor to Vista will be more of a hit with users when it launches on 22 October. Many of the features take into account multimedia applications and the fact that users are beginning to store their data on the internet.
Windows 7, formerly codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna, is being released less than three years after the launch of Vista. The operating system will be released in six separate editions. The versions PC users are most likely to see on shop shelves are the Home Premium and Professional editions.Other versions are aimed at users in developing nations and corporate customers. All but the most basic edition of the software will be available in 32 and 64 bit versions.
By contrast Windows 7 boots up more quickly and is designed to work on low cost portable machines such as notebooks. Windows 7 has greater support for multi-touch interfaces, handwriting recognition and improvements to its ability to work with multi-core processors.
Changes have also been made to the familiar taskbar that most users have at the bottom of the screen. Some of the features will be familiar to Apple Mac users as similar functions have been rolled out in Mac operating systems.
