Aero3 core functions and meanings in Windows 7 system

In Microsoft's latest generation client operating system Windows 7, Aero is the central theme of its graphics and user interface. In fact, as early as Windows Vista, Aero is at the heart of its graphical user interface.
However, although Aero technology has been around for almost three years, many users don't know what Aero really stands for. According to Microsoft, the Windows Aero tag is actually a fusion of the following four concepts: real, energetic, reflective and open.
The Microsoft spokesperson said that when Microsoft developed the Windows Aero technology, it hoped to bring users a "real, energetic, reflective and open" user experience.
Song Zou, a member of the Windows 7 Desktop Experience team, said that Windows Aero in Windows 7 includes the following three functions: Aero Shake, Aero Snap, and Aero Peek.

Steps/methods
1Aero Shake:
When a user opens multiple program windows in Windows 7, you can select a window, hold down the mouse, and then shake the window, so that The other windows will be minimized to the taskbar, leaving only the window you selected. Of course, if you continue to shake the selected window, those minimized windows will be restored.
2Aero Snap:
The Aero Snap feature automatically adjusts the size of the program window. Drag the window to the bottom of the screen to maximize the window; drag the window to the side of the screen to display the window half-screen. If you drag another window to the other side of the screen, the two windows will be displayed side by side. Pulling out the window from the edge of the screen will return the window to its original state.
3Aero Peek:
When you hover your mouse over the taskbar program icon, the Aero Peek feature lets you preview the open program window. You can open the program window by clicking on the preview thumbnail or close the program via the “X” in the upper right corner of the thumbnail.
Zou pointed out that Windows 7's new taskbar has 8 to 9 developers and 8 to 9 testers, and the heads of each function must communicate and keep in sync every day. Sometimes, developers will find more than 300 patches in a day. The feedback from the testers of the Windows 7 Beta and RC versions also gave the Aero team developers a lot of feedback from the real world, which made Windows 7 a lot of improvements in many aspects.
Zou did not give too much information for the upcoming next-generation Windows client operating system Windows 8. However, we can be sure that at present, Microsoft has shifted its focus to the development of Windows 8.
