Advantages of Windows 7

Why Windows 7?
This one question which will arise in everyone minds when the new operating system is released. We are very used to the Windows XP operating system with its User friendly interface and interactivity. We would not like to shift our focus to different one.
Certain reason why we should move to Windows 7:
1) In coming years Microsoft will stop supporting Window XP and again we will need to suffer like we have been using Windows 98 when it was completely out of support for drivers and other hardware compatibility.
2) Windows Vista which was a flagship of Microsoft to make the GUI features of Windows more interactivity and user friendly, which it was successful, but lost in the performance field.
3) The technology is emerging and we need to be in-par with it. Touch Screen, Cloud Computing and many more.
These are certain reason why we should move to Windows 7. Microsoft has been gathering feedback from end-users, worked hard to make the new Operating System in par with the End user requirements.

Some of the Features inside the operating system are:
WordPad
Windows 7 has made all its application in compatible with MS Office 2007 look. All the it major application follow the same menu options and many features which are MS office 2007.
A new ribbon—the strip across the top of the window that shows what a program can do—makes WordPad easier to use, with choices displayed out in the open rather than in menus. WordPad also has more formatting options, such as highlighting, bullets, line breaks, and new colors. With all of this—plus picture insertion, improved print preview, and zoom—WordPad is a powerful tool for creating basic word-processing documents.
Accessibility
Windows 7 gives you more ways to interact with your PC by taking advantage of new strides in speech recognition and touch technology.
Speech
Start an e-mail by speaking the recipient's name, surf the web without a keyboard, or dictate your documents.
Magnifier
On-Screen Keyboard
With Windows Touch and the right hardware, you can also input text by tapping directly on the screen. And word prediction speeds things up: type the first few letters of a word, and Windows will finish it for you.
Narrator and visual notifications
Windows can also replace sound alerts with visual cues like a screen flash, so system alerts are noticeable even when they're not heard.
Calculator
Calculator a fresh look and new features, including new Programmer and Statistics modes. Unit conversion translates Celsius to Fahrenheit, ounces to grams, and joules to BTUs. Handy calculation templates can help you compute stuff like fuel economy and auto lease payments.
Desktop
Windows 7it is easier to get more done on the desktop.
New ways to juggle windows
Windows 7 comes with three simple yet powerful new features called Aero Shake, Aero Peek, and Snap to help you instantly clear through desktop clutter.
Spectacular new wallpapers
Retooled taskbar
Windows 7, the taskbar has been completely redesigned to help you work smarter, cut clutter, and get more done
Improved gadgets
Gadgets, the popular mini-programs introduced in Windows Vista, are now more flexible and fun.
Paint
A new ribbon—the strip across the top of the window that shows what Paint can do—makes this tried-and-true program easier to use, with choices displayed out in the open rather than in menus.
And Paint's new realistic digital “brushes” will bring your pictures to life in shades of watercolor, crayon, and calligraphy.
Paint is now touch-ready too, so if you've got a touchscreen PC, you'll soon be finger painting right on the screen. You can even use two fingers to trace two separate strokes.
Snap
Snap is a quick (and fun) new way to resize open windows, simply by dragging them to the edges of your screen.
Snipping Tool
Snipping Tool captures a screen shot of anything on your desktop, like a picture or a section of webpage.
Sticky Notes
Sticky Notes just got more useful. In Windows 7, you can format a note’s text, change its color with a click, and speedily resize, collapse, and flip through notes. Sticky Notes is available only in the Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate editions of Windows 7.
User Account Control
User Account Control (UAC) helps defend your PC against hackers and malicious software. Any time a program wants to make a major change to your computer, UAC lets you know and asks for permission.
Windows 7 programs and tasks require your consent. If you have administrator privileges on your PC, you can also fine-tune UAC's notification settings in Control Panel
