Windows 7 powerful preview feature

The reason why the preview function is presented separately is because it is directly related to the user experience, or the usability of an operating system. A proper and adequate preview can be that the user can directly select the window he wants in the shortest time without constantly opening other windows. This preview function, from Xp, to Vista, to the upcoming Win7, is a triple jump. The so-called from nothing, from strong to strong. Of course, the comparison is not the purpose of this article, so let's take a look at how powerful Win7 is.

The first thing to note is that Microsoft uses a similar operation mode to Win7's famous Avant Window Navigator in Win7, that is, the quick launch bar and the current taskbar are the same. Therefore, when the mouse is moved to an icon of the quick start, if the program has been started, the current state of the program will be displayed, otherwise the program name will be displayed. At this point, Vista has already done it. Powerful in the back

This screenshot comes from Vista

For programs that can open several instances at the same time, such as IE or Live Messenger, the situation is not so simple. It is. When the mouse is moved to the IE icon with several windows open, the preview window will display the instant screen of all the open windows at the same time (this is already powerful enough);

The quick launch bar is also the taskbar

When the mouse is moved to a preview thumbnail, the actual size of the window will appear, and other windows besides the window will be temporarily hidden. stand up. (And it is powerful, other systems, even ubuntu 8.10 does not seem to do this)

There are some details, if you use IE to download files, IE icon Will become a download progress bar, the progress is clear at a glance

In addition, there is a preview function that I have not seen in all the operating systems, that is, preview the desktop: Move the mouse to the bottom right of the screen and do everything. Wait a second for a desktop preview, as shown below. I think the reason why Microsoft is the first and only one to make this function is not because it is more advanced, but, actually, this function is useless.

By the way, the small square on the bottom right of the desktop is the first place in the previous quick launch bar: display the desktop.

About the preview function of Win7, just say so much, in general, two words: strong.

(If there is a chance to write an article, and no one else writes a drawing board, I will write it, this is another masterpiece that I think Win7 is new.)
