New Features
While support for new hardware and improved security are perfectly valid reasons to upgrade your OS, the sexiest benefits of an operating system upgrade are all the new features. Indeed, from a completely revamped user interface to brand-new features designed to make organizing and sharing your files easier, Windows 7 delivers much more than some new wallpaper and a different color Taskbar. (Though there are lots of new wallpapers.)
User Interface Enhancements
The most obvious changes from previous versions of Windows to Windows 7 can be found in a redesigned user interface. Sure, much of the interface remains the same, but Microsoft has completely overhauled key elements, starting with the Taskbar.
After 14 years of nothing more than cosmetic changes, Microsoft’s redesign of the Taskbar combines the pure window organizing power of the classic Taskbar with the application-launching, multi-purpose convenience of Mac OS X’s Dock. In addition to showing the applications that you currently have open, the new Windows 7 Taskbar also hosts shortcuts to your most commonly used applications. Click a shortcut when the app is running, and it brings the most recently used window to the foreground. Click the same shortcut when the app is closed, and it will launch the app.
PERFECT OS, VERY FAST..Windows 7 is awesome except the Windows Audio Feature that was crippled since Vista. In Windows XP, I could use the Windows Audio to record my sound card's 'What U Hear' in exact audio quality using any audio software. I think i'll just give up on Windows Classic WAVE audio recording and start using the ASIO feature on my sound card, though I still prefer using old software since they are lighter and the Windows 2000 and XP Mixer is equally good if you have a high end sound card. You can play many audio files at once and record a mixtape using any light audio recording software. Now with the restrictions and the cripple of Windows Vista's sound support, they make it difficult to do that, the audio quality isn't exact anymore. :(
Oh, another thing I forgot to mention is compatibility. Microsoft should have included all the compatibility with all Windows Vista drivers and software. My Sound Blaster X Fi Elite Pro seems to not install properlly like it would with Vista. I wish my original vista driver CD would still work on Windows 7.
The only reason why I still use XP is the audio recording dilemma. Plus, I don't have a licence for it at this point of time.
