  • Improved taskbar - Pin items to taskbar (similar to quick launch) and buttons are larger.
  • Jump Lists - right clicking a button on the taskbar brings up special tasks (like recently opened files in that program, or changing your status on Windows Live Messenger)
  • Desktop enhancements - Depending on where you drag a window, you can make it expand vertically, take up the entire screen, or appear side-by-side with another window. You can drag a window to the edge of the screen for it to 'snap' to the sides, a show desktop button on the bottom right makes all windows transparent, and shaking the top of a window will make all other open windows minimize/restore.

    Redecorate your desktop with fun new themes, slide shows, or handy gadgets.

  • Windows Search - Improved from Windows Vista for more relevant results and in separate categories.
  • Better device management - The Printers & Devices screen is improved so you can manage all your devices on one screen.
  • HomeGroup - Share files & Printers, enter a homegroup name and password and it's all ready to share.
  • View Available Network (VAN) - One small pop-out window to manage wireless networks, one-click access to networks
  • Windows Live Essentials - 7 great programs, 1 free download. Mail, Movie Maker, Photo Gallery, and more.
  • Full 64-bit support - Windows 7 makes the most of powerful 64-bit PCs, the new desktop standard.
  • Performance improvements - Designed to sleep and resume quicker, be less memory hungry, and spot USB devices faster.
  • Media - Play your media on other PCs, stereos, or TVs around the house. Enjoy music and video on your home PC-even when you're not at home.
  • Windows Touch - Pair Windows 7 with a touchscreen and you won't always need a keyboard or mouse.
