Overview of Windows 7:

* Work the way you want. Windows 7 delivers the fundamental performance, reliability and security features that people expect -- and it is designed to be compatible with the same hardware, applications and device drivers as Windows Vista. New features will help protect privacy and data, make it easier to keep a PC running smoothly, and enable quicker recovery from problems.

* Make everyday tasks faster and easier. Windows 7 streamlines and simplifies the tasks people do most often. Improved navigation, a new taskbar and a streamlined user interface put commonly used resources within easy reach. Sharing data across all PCs and devices will be easier at home, in the office or on the go. Windows 7 and Windows Live will help users stay connected to the people and things they care about, and Internet Explorer 8 will offer a faster, safer and more productive Web experience.

* Make new things possible. Windows 7 offers more choice in how users interact with their PCs, such as through multi-touch gestures. With Device Stage, Windows 7 enables people to get more from the devices they use most often with their PC, such as cameras, phones and printers. Windows 7 also makes it easier to use home audio-video systems and other networked media devices to play music, watch videos and display photos that reside on Windows-based PCs. And Windows 7 offers more options than ever to customize and personalize Windows-based PCs with styles that match the user's personality.
