Simplify everyday tasks

• Simplify your PC with new navigation features like Shake, Jump Lists, and Snap.
  • Ever need to cut through a cluttered desktop and quickly focus on a single window? Now with Windows 7, you can just click, hold down, and give your mouse a shake. Voila! Every open window except that one instantly disappears. Jiggle again—and your windows are back. (Who says an old mouse can't learn a new trick?)
  • The taskbar gives you a quick way to find the programs and files you’ve got open. With Windows 7, you’ll see the next big jump (pun intended) in making it easier to find what you need. Jump Lists take you right to the documents, pictures, songs, or websites you use most often. To open a Jump List, just right-click a program icon on the Windows 7 taskbar. You can also see Jump Lists for the programs on your Start menu – just click on the arrow next to the program name.
  • Snap is a quick (and fun) new way to resize open windows, simply by dragging them to the edges of your screen. Depending on which edge you choose—top or bottom, left or right—the window will expand vertically, fill the screen, or you can even position windows side by side. Snap makes reading, organizing, and comparing windows a...well, you get the picture.
    
    
• Personalize your PC by customizing themes, colors, sounds, and more.
  
  
• Easily set up a home network and connect to printers and devices.
  • Have you ever needed to print a file at home when you weren’t connected to a printer? Did you decide that even with a home network, it was easier to just put the file on a USB drive and take it to the PC with the printer? That’s one reason we created HomeGroup. New with Windows 7, HomeGroup takes the headache out of sharing files, devices, and printers on a home network. Connect two or more PCs running Windows 7, and HomeGroup makes it easy to automatically start sharing your music, pictures, video, and document libraries with others in your home.
    
    
• Windows 7 Home Premium supports the latest hardware and software.

Work the way you want

• Designed to make your PC sleep and resume quicker.
  • Windows 7 is ready when you are. When resuming from Standby, Windows 7 is designed to reconnect to your wireless network faster so your PC will be ready to use in seconds. You'll spend even less time waiting for your PC to be ready if you use the Sleep mode.
    
    
• Takes full advantage of 64-bit PC hardware and memory.
  • If you’ve gone PC shopping lately, you've probably noticed more computers with 64-bit processors, and you may have wondered what advantages they offer. Put simply, a 64-bit PC can handle larger amounts of information than a 32-bit system. Since it can use more RAM—4 GB and up—a 64-bit computer can be more responsive when you're running lots of programs at once.
    
    
• Connecting to wireless networks is fast and easy.
  • Windows 7 improves how you view and connect to all of your networks, making the process simple and consistent. You'll always have one-click access to available networks, regardless of whether those networks are based on Wi-Fi, mobile broadband, dial-up, or your corporate VPN.

Make new things possible

• Watch shows for free where and when you want with Internet TV on Windows Media Center.
  • Watch, pause, and record live TV. Listen to your tunes. Show off your photo collection. Enjoy online entertainment. And do it all from your living-room couch. In Windows 7, we've made it even better—adding great new features and visual touch-ups. Windows Media Center is available in the Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate editions of Windows 7.
    
    
• Send media from your PC to devices on your home network.
  • Do you have music on your PC that you want to play on your home entertainment system? Play To, new in Windows 7, makes it easy to use your home audio-video system and other networked media devices to play your music, watch videos, and display photos that reside on your PC. Just right-click the tracks you'd like to hear and select Play To—now you're hearing what you want, where you want it.
    
    
• Supports more media formats, including integrated video and Dolby audio codecs.

Features:

Live Taskbar Previews

Manage lots of open programs, documents, and browser windows easily with thumbnail and full-screen previews of open windows.
With Windows XP, a taskbar shows the programs you've got open and lists the associated files you're working with. With Windows Vista, if you hover over a program on the taskbar you can see thumbnail images of files you have open with that program. But you can't interact with the files.

With Windows 7, you can point to a taskbar icon to see actual images of all of your open files or programs. Then, move your mouse over the image to preview the window full-screen. Click on the full screen image, and you can start working with it immediately. You can even close windows from the thumbnail previews—a big time saver.

Pin

Pin programs to the taskbar. Pin files to Jump Lists. Just like tacking notes on a bulletin board, you can use pin to keep the things you need close at hand.
A lot of us have a fairly small group of programs and files we use a lot. So it makes sense to be able to keep them handy all the time. With Windows Vista, you can pin your favorite programs to your start menu.

In Windows 7, you can use pinning to make your PC work even more the way you want. One big improvement is the ability to control where your programs appear on your taskbar. Always want your web browser right next to the start button? Drag the icon where you want it, and it'll stay there till you move it. You can also pin your program icon to the taskbar, so it's there all the time. You can even pin specific documents and web sites to Jump Lists on your taskbar.

Windows Search

Instantly locate and open virtually any file on your PC, from documents to emails to songs, right from the Start menu just by typing a word or two.
With Windows Vista, we introduced Instant Search, which helps you easily locate files, e-mail messages, and other items on your PC. If you remember the type of file, when it was created, or even what it contains, Instant Search helps you find it quickly from the Start menu and other folders. In Windows 7, Windows Search improves upon this feature by making search results more relevant and easier to review. Now, you can find more things in more places—and do it faster.

Start typing into the Start menu search box—and you'll instantly see a list of relevant documents, pictures, music, and e-mail on your PC. Results are now grouped by category and contain highlighted keywords and text snippets to make them easier to scan.

Few people store all their files in one place these days. So Windows 7 is also designed to search external hard drives, networked PCs, and Libraries. Overwhelmed by your search results? You can instantly narrow them by date, file type, and other useful categories.

Windows Live Essentials

This collection of free programs puts the Internet in your hands. Share photos. Make movies. Send instant messages and mail. Quick and easy.
What is Windows Live Essentials? Simply put, it's free software that makes a PC running Windows 7 do more great things. Things like e-mail, instant messaging, photo editing, and blogging.

• Windows Live Photo Gallery
  With Windows Vista, Photo Gallery comes with the operating system. With Windows 7, Photo Gallery is offered as a free download from Windows Live. That means it’s easier to take advantage of all the things you can do online with your photos. With Windows Live Photo Gallery, it's a snap to organize, edit, and share your favorite photos with friends and family. Create impressive panoramic images from a collection of photos or make your great photos look even better with a wide selection of editing tools.
  Finding photos of your friends is a lot easier, because Windows Live Photo Gallery automatically finds the people in your photos so you can add a name to the face. Then later, all you need to do is type in someone’s name to see all the photos of that person. And Windows Live Photo Gallery lets you easily publish to both Windows Live Photos and other popular photo-sharing services. Want to pass photos around? You can order prints directly from thousands of printing services around the world.
  
  
• Windows Live Movie Maker
  With Windows XP, you can get Movie Maker as a free download to use with the operating system. In Windows Vista, it comes along with the operating system. Now, with Windows 7, you get it as a free download through Windows Live Essentials. Windows Live Movie Maker has been designed to make it easier than ever to share your creations with your friends and family and has been redesigned to help you make movies you'll be proud of. Import and combine photos, video clips, and music, and then edit your movie and publish your video creation to the web.
  
  
• Windows Live Mail
  Over the years, you’ve had a few ways to do e-mail with Windows. With Windows 7 and Windows Live, we’re making it a little easier to send and manage e-mail. A free download from Windows Live, Windows Live Mail gives you one place to access multiple e-mail accounts from various providers – Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo!. Say you’re offline, but you need to check the address on a party invite you got the other day. No problem. Older messages and calendar events are accessible in Mail, even when you’re offline. And, with “photo mail” built in, you can send photos to friends without clogging their inboxes with large attachments. Instead, they’ll get lighter copies of the photos in their mail along with links to download the full-resolution versions.
  
  
• Windows Live Messenger
  The latest release of Windows Live Messenger is a great way to chat, play games, or share photos instantly, It not only includes a completely new look and feel, but it’s also designed to let you make it your own – you can personalize nearly everything. Add pictures or short videos of yourself that can change with your mood, let people know what music you’re listening to, and customize the scene in the conversation window.
