Good news, everybody! If you're a PC user, if you're still using Windows XP with 8 years of history, or annoying Windows http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/15470.html ">vista, Now you can finally be free: Windows 7 is right in front of you. Microsoft delivers an ingenious, improved operating system that allows you to return to the world you belong to today. This is a major update and is strongly recommended to Microsoft users.

We tested Microsoft last week for a close final version of Windows 7 Preview today we'll take you through some of the major new features and improvements in Windows 7. Let's start with the interface, then the performance, then the usability and other interesting stuff.

Optimized interface Improvement rendering

Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 is like changing from an old Toyota Camry (Toyota Camry) to a sexy new Nissan GT. All visual elements, from typesetting fonts, application icons to taskbar, windows are refined, including gloss and shadow details. Finally, Microsoft has created a simple, modern operating system interface that can compete with Apple's Mac OS X Leopard.

In addition to the new interface, Windows 7 also has three new features that make the interface look more wonderful, namely Aero Peek, Aero Snap, and Aero Shake. They are window management tools, similar to Mac OS X's Exposé. Aero Peek is the most useful feature that, when triggered, can display the thumbnail contours of all other windows behind the active window, and thumbnail previews of protected thumbnails can help users quickly choose.

Aero Snap (flight alignment: Look at the screenshot above) is also pretty cool: for example, if you drag the window to the right of the screen, the Aero Snap feature automatically resizes the window so that it occupies half the space on the screen (the same effect as dragging to the left). The Aero Shake is also great: you can click and hold a window until it appears to flicker, and all other Windows except this window are gone (minimized, not closed).

An important change has occurred in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen: the current Windows taskbar, where each enabled window or application has a small rectangular label representing the text on the taskbar, but all Windows 7 startup windows or applications will only appear with a square icon on the taskbar. and no text (bottom left corner of above). With the Aeropeek feature, users can easily view the thumbnails of all enabled windows or applications, all hovering over each corresponding icon on the taskbar. This change is clearly more suited to the task of multitasking.

If you use Internet Explorer 8 as your browser, the advantage is that when you hover your mouse over the IE icon on the taskbar, all IE tabs are displayed in the form of a grid thumbnail so you can easily choose which pages you want to go to.

In the bottom left corner of the screen there is also a "Start" button Windows enthusiasts favorite features, it almost as in the past, the function has not changed. The main change is to increase the color gradient, making the vision more beautiful. In addition, the bottom of the Start menu also adds a search box that allows you to instantly display search results at the bottom so that you can find and run programs faster.
