Windows7: Simple and intuitive, cool to the end

  

Mysterious Windows 7 has finally unveiled the final veil. Many of us should remember that Microsoft introduced the MS Windows 3 in 1990, which brought a sensation to the industry. Windows 3, such as MS Excel, is a killer product. Since then, Microsoft's Windows Legend has begun:

Windows NT, introduced in 1993, is a completely rewritten new operating system. And its founder is the father of the famous VAX VMS -- David Cutler.

The subsequent release of Windows 95 has undoubtedly been a huge success. But Windows 98 has caused Microsoft to fall into hell from heaven. After the launch of Windows XP, Microsoft has regained the feeling of being a king. Windows XP quickly occupied the desktop of individual users. Even today, it is still a lot of user desktops. The preferred choice for the operating system. Windows Vista, introduced in 2007, once again put Microsoft in a huge trouble.

In order to get rid of the current dilemma, Microsoft launched the first generation of products - Windows 7, can it successfully "save" Microsoft? Personally, based on the experience of the last two weeks, my first impression of Windows 7 is still very good.

Simple

A fresh installation from the Windows 7 CD takes only an hour, and the installation process can be described as fast and simple. After launching, the desktop is very simple. There are only three startup projects in the taskbar -- Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, and Media Player. Of course, you can add or remove other startup projects according to your needs.

Any program or file can be searched using the simple text box above the Windows button. To connect to the network, you can click on the mouse twice: first click on the taskbar and then click on the network that Windows 7 has searched for. Device addition is also very simple. For example, if you want to add a printer, Windows 7 will automatically find and load the device driver, and then you can print. A Bluetooth camera or mobile phone can be instantly searched by Windows 7, and you can transfer pictures and videos.

If an application has compatibility issues, Windows 7 will automatically try to run in XP compatibility mode. The IE8 that comes with Windows 7 adds the accelerator function, which makes the user a lot more efficient. For example, when you click on someone's name on the web page, you can find him on Facebook. If you want to translate a non-English web page into English, you can do it with a click of the mouse.

Intuitive

We have all had such a situation: "Where did I get the document I got last week?" I have a jump list that can be found more easily. Files, folders, and links that you use often, often. The jump list appears in two places: one is in the start menu, the mouse is moved to the name of the program, the jump list appears, or the application's icon is right-clicked on the taskbar.

IE8 has a new visual search capability. IE8 works with top search providers such as Bing, Wikipedia, Yahoo, Amazon, etc., to quickly provide query results with images. For example, if you type "Isaac Newton", Bing will display a related article preview directly in the drop-down box of the search bar. In addition, the search box provides suggestions through your search history so you don't have to type in the full content to access the link directly.

In Windows 7, Microsoft replaced Windows Exchange Mail (also part of Windows Live Essentials) with the original Outlook Express Mail mail client. Windows Live Mail is free to download and the free online space reaches 25GB.

A "cool" in the end

Windows 7 supports "multi-touch" technology, which brings great convenience to users. "Multi-touch" + "Microsoft Virtual Earth" allows you to easily play with the earth with just a finger, a good experience, isn't it? Playing the piano with a computer screen may be something you can't even think about in the past. "Multi-touch" makes your dream come true. In addition, you can drag and drop directly into MS Media Center with your pictures and music. Is this cool? One of the design concepts of Windows 7 is personalization. You can even enlarge the text for easy reading.

The Peep feature allows you to view items on the taskbar without having to open it. Even more amazing is that Windows 7 also adds a magical window shake management function: whether you remember the magical drawing board, you only need to gently shake things to disappear without a trace. Windows 7 also uses the same shaking concept to help It's easier to manage your windows. The Windows 7 Aero Shake program lets you clear other inactive windows by simply "shaking" on the window you are using. Place your mouse pointer over the title bar of the window, click the left button, then shake from side to side, and all inactive windows will disappear. To resume displaying these windows, just shake them again and all the windows will appear in front of you.

Aero Snap is also part of the Aero desktop improvements in Windows 7. This feature is also used for Windows window management, but the difference is that it looks at the basic control of Windows, because with the higher resolution of the display, the traditional window control is not so convenient, and the emergence of Aero Snap It is precisely to solve this problem. It can provide users with some of the most basic operations such as maximizing, minimizing, and displaying windows side by side. With this feature, you can divide your computer screen into 2 and display two applications side by side, such as Word and Excel.

Powerful taskbar, multi-touch interface and automatic device search make your daily life more convenient.

It is undeniable that Windows 7 has indeed given us a surprise, it has renewed the user's confidence in the Windows operating system, which is a good signal.
