Windows 7

Microsoft has worked under the code name Windows 7 on the successor of Windows Vista since approximately August 2007. My most familiar operating system window 7 is based on Windows Vista and comes with new programmed functions and improvements in detail. Steve Ballmer talked with a keynote onto the Gartner Symposium IT 2008 on October 16th, 2008, that Windows 7 one Windows Vista is but with numerous improvements. It shall be release after 2.5 years development time as a new Windows major release. The version number is not increased to 7.0 but to 6.1 for compatibility reasons. Through this Microsoft wants to prevent problems with programmes which checks the version number. Microsoft introduced the first Windows 7 test release with the build 6801 on the Professional Developer Conference in Los Angeles on October 28th, 2008.

Basic data of my most familiar operating system Windows 7:

• 64 bit and 32 bit version


• Kernel is based on "MinWin"


• new graphic system


• improved language and handwriting recognition, useable over touch screen


• new user interface


• new program menues( which is my favorite data)


• Windows XP mode (Windows 7 Professional or higher)

The first Windows 7 Release Candidate build 7100 appeared on April 21st, 2009. The operating system can be tested for 30 days without product activation which I have noticed. Microsoft refer as minimum requirements a computer with 1 ghz CPU, 1 gbyte main memory, 16 gbyte free storage and a DirectX 9 graphics card with a WDDM 1.0 driver or higher. Microsoft cooperates closely with Intel so that Windows 7 can use Hyper-threading still better. The Release Candidate contains the Windows Media Player 12, Internet Explorer 8 and the Windows Defender 6.1. This promises users of Windows 7 Professional and higher to start some older productive Windows XP applications directly from the Windows 7 desktop.
