Windows 7 RC Gets 36 Changes
|
After the overwhelming response to Windows 7 and requests for features from users, Microsoft has finally released the feature list of the Windows 7 Release Candidate. This release candidate of Windows 7 is expected to arrive on April 10, 2009, as per Ars Technica.
In
all, Microsoft's senior program manager, Chaitanya Sareen, outlined 36
changes in the Windows 7 release candidate. Minor changes will give
users more control than what they had in the Windows 7 beta. However,
Paul Thurrott dismissed
these "laundry list of tiny changes, much like the '300+ New Features!'
lists that Apple makes every time it ships a new version of Mac OS X."
Here are a few important changes we'd like to highlight:
The ALT+TAB window feature will be implemented in Aero Peek. Time delay in flipping between and cycling through windows will be displayed in the respective window through Aero Peek.
Keyboard shortcut: Windows Logo+ #
Keyboard speed and efficiency freaks would love the new keyboard shortcut - Windows Logo key + # key. This new shortcut will give you access to the taskbar for launching and switching to a program that is running.
Touch-y tweaks
This much hyped touch feature in Windows 7 gets some improvements like multi-touch keyboard, drag-n-drop support, and multi-touch right click in the release candidate.
Native .mov file support
Say adios to QuickTime, for now, Windows 7 RC will allow .mov file playback on the fly.
FAT32 support
Support for non-removable FAT32 and NTFS hard drives will be added, which was absent in Windows 7 Beta.
