Let’s see what’s been causing such a lime light for Windows 7. To start with let us give a glimpse of what lies in future with Windows 7 Operating System. To get a good idea about this you might wanna check this video:

Looks fabulous. I am sure the new release will drive a lot of new hardware sales. Now let’s take a look at what are new features which are expected in the new release.

1. Gadgets: These will be frequently used tools which will sit right on your desktop and will help you get information at a glance. Hmmm, does it sound like Konfabulator? Bravo Microsoft for realizing this!
2. Home Group: This will allow you to create a group of home computers. You’ll be able to share stuff like music and pictures much more easily. Not to take away the fact that everything is customizable so you can decide what you want to share.
3. Drive Protection: This one could be a life saver and I must say a very smart move by Microsoft. Wha tthis feature will do is that it’ll check for the drivers which might cause problems and which might not be compatible and will disallow them to start. A great tool for people who are novice using computers and end up in trouble due to wrong hardware drivers.
4. Device Information Retrieval: Device Information Retrieval system will download information from Microsoft about your hardware devices and will display it in Windows 7 device and control panel and also when you first install and use a device, in Device stage. This sounds like a bit of privacy concern.
5. Dynamic Updates: This feature again is an enhancement. When you will first install Windows 7, it’ll check for the latest updates and will install your Operating System with all the updates before you use it for the first time. No more nagging notification post installation.
6. Games Folder: Microsoft has missed this one in their previous Operating Systems. With Microsoft Windows 7 you’ll be able to right click on a Windows game and check for the updates if any. You can also set this as an automatic check along with your windows update.
7. BitLocker

With all the leaked screenshots and enhancement of native applications like Paint and Notepad. We did a post on this earlier and you can read the story here. However, the purpose of this quick post is to inform our readers that the official name of next version of Windows which was code named Windows 7 is actually going to be Windows 7.

   What this means that for a change Microsoft will not try a fancy name like Vista for it’s next version of Operating System. This is what Mike Nash had to say about the Windows 7.

   And, as you probably know, since we began development of the next version of the Windows client operating system we have been referring to it by a codename, “Windows 7.”

   Microsoft windows new operating system which is making a great lot of buzz in the blogsphere is teasing with new features. The launch date which has been roumored to have been advanced in July of 2009 would see a predessesor of windows vista. All the microsoft apllications including the IE is expected to have a ribbon interface. The famous ribbon was first launched in MS Office 2007.

   Following this, Microsoft’s Paint is also on the track to get a major revamp. Following is a screenshot of MS paint which will be part of Microsoft Windows 7. It has a neat ribbon interface.

   We hope to see more features in the next big OS from microsoft. And I always wanted a more revived Paint. Even notepad and wordpad are expected to get Ribbon interface.
