Microsoft Rolled Out To Windows 7 features
Windows 7 is intended to be cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing than previous version of Windows Vista. Latest editions of Windows 7 include a redesigned user interface and visual style. “Windows 7 is a chance for us to let the PC be not only more interesting but just simpler and faster for the many, many hundreds of millions of people who use them. Real show-shopper was the technology Microsoft rolled out to present Windows 7 features.
Windows 7 is, with a demo connecting a Nikon D5000 DLSR to Windows 7. Device Stage — Windows 7’s visual interface that is used to recognize devices and peripherals — automatically recognized the well-acclaimed camera, which lists for about $625, by placing an actual image of the camera on the Task Bar. It was the ultimate in Plug and Play. The demo showed how easy it was to import pictures once the camera was connected.
Next, was an impressive demo of the new capabilities of Windows Media Center integrated with the multi-touch features of Windows 7. Using a PC all-in-one TV tuner, or a USB tuner (which is available for less than $100), Microsoft demonstrated how a user could touch their way through an interactive TV guide to access TV listings. Media center also supports High Definition streaming.
A little more about the touch-screen eye candy: The demo displayed the impressive collaboration among Windows 7 developers and hardware vendors. The demonstration included Toshiba’s capacitive glass with optical sensors and Acer’s resistance touch technology with G sensors.
The audience also got a look at the new Home Networking feature. Printers, multimedia files and documents can be effortlessly shared within a home network. An added plus — laptops that users may regularly connect to a work domain or network can intelligently shift between connecting to work and a Home Group network. DirectX 11’s 3-D capabilities also got a platform. Using Nvidia’s 3-D technology, a breathtaking 3-D image was projected on a large screen. Microsoft is working with both Nvidia and ATI to deliver some fancy 3-D graphics for gamers — audience members had the chance to don a pair of 3-D glasses and ogle an impressive game featuring a 3-D Batman.
Loaded up with Windows 7 for the audience to admire was the super-ultra-thin Dell Adamo XPS — a 9.9-mm laptop that is still not available as of yet, but the preview certainly whets the geek appetite for what promises to be an impressive ultra portable.
Microsoft charged for the Home Premium version of Windows 7 is $199.99, or $119.99 for users seeking to upgrade from older versions of the operating system — well below comparable prices for Vista.
