The new features of Windows 7 are as follows:
- Easy to Use — Windows 7 has a very attractive look with colourful themes and slide shows. It is very easy to use. The use of graphics make it quite interactive.
- Multitasking — We can perform more than one task at a time using Windows 7.
- Searching made easier — We can quickly search for more things in more places in our computer.
- Pinning on Taskbar — We can pin our favourite programs on the taskbar for easy access. Just right-click the program and select Pin to Taskbar option.
- Aero Peek — This feature allows us to quickly view the desktop without minimizing the open windows. We just need to hover the mouse pointer over the Show Desktop button at the right edge of the taskbar.
- Live Taskbar Preview — We can move the pointer to a taskbar button to see the live preview of its open window in full screen.
- Jump Lists — This feature takes us straight to the documents, pictures, songs, or websites we recently visited. A jump list also appears on the Start menu. It provides a quick access to different programs.
- Snap — It is the quicker way to resize the open window.
- Drag one of the window to the left edge of the screen and another to the right edge. This way we can view two windows side by side.
- Dragging the window to the upper edge of the screen will take up the entire screen.
- Dragging the window to the lower edge of the screen will expand it vertically.
- Shake — Click on the top of a window and without releasing the mouse button, give the mouse a shake. Every open window except the one we are working with will be minimized. Again shake the mouse and all the open windows will be back.
