The New version of Windows, Windows 7 has recently been released for Production by Microsoft Corp. It's been three years since Microsoft introduced their last version of Windows Vista, which was not as popular.I have a feeling that tons of people may upgrade to Win7 from Win XP. This time it seems as if Microsoft has really listened to customer feedback.
Windows 7 seems to work faster than Vista, and application windows seem to open up a lot snappier and Win7 seems to run as well with lesser system resources, such as memory, and slower CPU's and Netbooks.
The Taskbar is new and improved, and let's you pin Application Icons onto it. The task bar has combined ‘launching programs’ with 'switching between programs’, resulting in a single menu with bigger icons. There is also a JumpList with each icon – akin to a start menu - so you can open a recent word document right from this JumpList.
One of the most exciting features is Windows multi-touch. This allows you to move, resize, rotate, two-finger zoom, flick and pan objects by simply touching the LCD Screen.
Win 7 has backward compatibility with Win XP, and Vista, so that older device drivers, applications, and hardware, will run in Win 7 right off the bat.
The Libraries feature, organizes file type folders that show you all files of a particular type in one view – Ex: all music files across all directories in a ‘Music Library’.
There is also less user account control (UAC), which was quite a significant annoyance on Windows Vista machines. (Top 25 Features of Windows7)

I have learned from the workshop that Windows 7 only needs 30 secs to boot comparing to about 3 mins of Vista. It's gonna be cool.
