Windows 7: The new operating system from Microsoft

Windows 7

Windows 7 (formerly codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna) is the next release of Microsoft Windows, an operating system produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, Tablet PCs, and media center PCs.

Microsoft stated in 2007 that it is planning Windows 7 development for a three-year time frame starting after the release of its predecessor, Windows Vista, but that the final release date will be determined by product quality.

Unlike its predecessor, Windows 7 is intended to be an incremental upgrade with the goal of being fully compatible with existing device drivers, applications and hardware.

Presentations given by the company in 2008 have focused on multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.


Some applications that have been included with prior releases of Microsoft Windows, most notably Windows Mail, Windows Movie Maker and Windows Photo Gallery, are no longer included with the operating system; they are instead offered separately as part of the Windows Live Essentials suite.
History

In 2000, Microsoft started the planning to follow up Windows XP and its server counterpart Windows Server 2003 (both codenamed Whistler) with a major new release of Windows that was codenamed Blackcomb (both codenames refer to the Whistler-Blackcomb resort). This new version was at that time scheduled for a 2005 release.

Major features were planned for Blackcomb, including an emphasis on searching and querying data and an advanced storage system named WinFS to enable such scenarios. In this context, a feature mentioned by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates for Blackcomb was "a pervasive typing line that will recognize the sentence that [the user is] typing in."

Later, Blackcomb was delayed and an interim, minor release, codenamed "Longhorn", was announced for a 2003 release. By the middle of 2003, however, Longhorn had acquired some of the features originally intended for Blackcomb, including WinFS, the Desktop Window Manager, and new versions of system components built on the .NET Framework.

After the 2003 "Summer of Worms", where three major viruses − Blaster, Sobig, and Welchia − exploited flaws in Windows operating systems within a short time period, Microsoft changed its development priorities, putting some of Longhorn's major development work on hold in order to develop new service packs for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Development of Longhorn was also "reset" in September 2004.

Naming

As major feature work on Windows Vista wound down in early 2006, Blackcomb was renamed Vienna. However, following the release of Windows Vista, it was confirmed by Microsoft on 20 July 2007 that "the internal name for the next version of the Windows Client OS" was Windows 7, a name that had been reported by some sources months before. On 13 October 2008, it was announced that Windows 7 would also be the official name of the operating system.

Mike Nesh, Microsoft's vice-president of Windows product management said:
The decision to use the name Windows 7 is about simplicity. Simply put, this is the seventh release of Windows, so therefore Windows 7 just makes sense.

Coming up with an all-new 'aspirational' name does not do justice to what we are trying to achieve, which is to stay firmly rooted in our aspirations for Windows Vista, while evolving and refining the substantial investments in platform technology in Windows Vista into the next generation of Windows.

Features

Windows 7 includes a number of new features, such as advances in touch and handwriting recognition, support for virtual hard disks, improved performance on multi-core processors, improved boot performance, DirectAccess, and kernel improvements.

Windows 7 adds support for systems using multiple heterogeneous graphics cards from different vendors (Heterogeneous Multi-adapter), a new version of Windows Media Center, a Gadget for Windows Media Center, improved media features, the XPS Essentials Pack and Windows PowerShell being included, and a redesigned Calculator with multiline capabilities including Programmer and Statistics modes along with unit conversion.

Many new items have been added to the Control Panel, including ClearType Text Tuner, Display Color Calibration Wizard, Gadgets, Recovery, Troubleshooting, Workspaces Center, Location and Other Sensors, Credential Manager, Biometric Devices, System Icons, and Display.

Windows Security Center has been renamed to Windows Action Center (Windows Health Center and Windows Solution Center in earlier builds), which encompasses both security and maintenance of the computer.

The default setting for User Account Control in Windows 7 has been criticized for allowing untrusted software to be launched with elevated privileges by exploiting a trusted application. Microsoft's Windows kernel engineer Mark Russinovich acknowledged the problem, but noted that there are other vulnerabilities that do not rely on the new setting.

The taskbar has seen the biggest visual changes, where the Quick Launch toolbar has been replaced with pinning applications to the taskbar. Buttons for pinned applications are integrated with the task buttons.

These buttons also enable the Jump Lists feature to allow easy access to common tasks. The revamped taskbar also allows the reordering of taskbar buttons. To the far right of the system clock is a small rectangular button that serves as the Show desktop icon.

This button is part of the new feature in Windows 7 called Aero Peek. Hovering over this button makes all visible windows transparent for a quick look at the desktop. In touch-enabled displays such as touch screens, tablet PCs, etc., this button is slightly wider to accommodate being pressed with a finger.

Clicking this button minimizes all windows, and clicking it a second time restores them. Additionally, there is a feature named Aero Snap, that automatically maximizes a window when it is dragged to either the top or left/right edges of the screen.

This also allows users to snap documents or files on either side of the screen to compare them. When a user moves windows that are maximized, the system restores their previous state automatically.

This functionality is also accomplished with keyboard shortcuts. Unlike in Windows Vista, window borders and the taskbar do not turn opaque when a window is maximized with Windows Aero applied. Instead, they remain transparent.

For developers, Windows 7 includes a new networking API with support for building SOAP-based web services in native code (as opposed to .NET-based WCF web services), new features to shorten application install times, reduced UAC prompts, simplified development of installation packages, and improved globalization support through a new Extended Linguistic Services API.

At WinHEC 2008 Microsoft announced that color depths of 30-bit and 48-bit would be supported in Windows 7 along with the wide color gamut scRGB (which for HDMI 1.3 can be converted and output as xvYCC). The video modes supported in Windows 7 are 16-bit sRGB, 24-bit sRGB, 30-bit sRGB, 30-bit with extended color gamut sRGB, and 48-bit scRGB.

Microsoft is also implementing better support for Solid State Drives, including the new TRIM command, and Windows 7 will be able to identify a Solid State Drive uniquely. Microsoft is also planning to support USB 3.0 in a subsequent patch, although support would not be included in the initial release due to delays in the finalization of the standard.

Internet Spades, Internet Backgammon and Internet Checkers, which were removed from Windows Vista, were restored in Windows 7. Windows 7 will include Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Media Player 12.

Users will also be able to disable many more Windows components than was possible in Windows Vista.

New additions to this list of components include Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, Windows Search, and the Windows Gadget Platform.

Windows 7 includes 13 additional sound schemes, titled Afternoon, Calligraphy, Characters, Cityscape, Delta, Festival, Garden, Heritage, Landscape, Quirky, Raga, Savanna, and Sonata.

A new version of Virtual PC, Windows Virtual PC Beta is available for Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions.

It allows multiple Windows environments, including Windows XP Mode, to run on the same machine, requiring the use of Intel VT-x or AMD-V. Windows XP Mode runs Windows XP in a virtual machine and redirects displayed applications running in Windows XP to the Windows 7 desktop.

Furthermore Windows 7 supports the mounting of a virtual hard disk (VHD) as a normal data storage, and the bootloader delivered with Windows 7 can boot the Windows system from a VHD.

The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) of Windows 7 is also enhanced to support real-time multimedia application including video playback and 3D games. That means that Direct X 10 can be used in a remote desktop environment.

The three application limit will be removed from Windows 7 Starter.

Windows 7 is said to be capable of running Windows programs and games, such as South Park Rally, that neither XP nor Vista supported for various reasons.

Windows 7 is available for general purchase on October 22nd, 2009.

How to Convert a BMP Image to a JPG Within a Word Document

Microsoft Word is a document processor that allows you to create documents. These documents can contain images, which can be edited. When you double-click an image in a Word document, it automatically opens Microsoft Paint, which can be used to directly edit and convert the BMP (bitmap) file pasted into the file. Microsoft Paint is used because it is packaged with each edition of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Instructions

1. Step1

   Open the Word document that contains the images you want to edit. When the document loads, double-click the image to open it in Microsoft Paint.

2. Step2

   Click the "File" menu item and then click "Save As." This opens a dialog window where you can convert the BMP to a JPG.

3. Step3

   Click the drop-down box labeled "File Type." Select "JPG;JPEG" from the list of file formats. Enter a name for the file. Microsoft Paint sets the default value to the current file name of the BMP with the JPG extension.

4. Step4

   Click the "Save" button to convert the file. Close Microsoft Paint, which will return you to the Microsoft Word application.

5. Step5

   Right-click the image in the Word document and select "Change Picture." Select the JPG you converted in Microsoft Paint and click the "Ok" button. The image is now converted from a BMP to a JPG in your Word document.

How to Activate a New Drive

Activating a new drive added to your computer is an automated process. Once the drive is installed and you turn on your computer for the first time, the hardware and software will auto-detect the new hardware. The BIOS will add it automatically to the hardware configuration of your computer. When Windows boots up, it will automatically detect the new drive and install the necessary drivers to make the hard drive usable. If all of this does not happen, then you will have to do a few things manually to make the new drive work properly.

Instructions

1. Step1

   Click the "Start" button on your taskbar.

2. Step2

   Right-click "Computer" if you are running Windows 7 or Vista, "My Computer" if you are using Windows XP.

3. Step3

   Select "Manage." Click the "Continue" button if the User Account window opens asking for affirmation to continue.

4. Step4

   Click the "Disk Management" icon located under the Storage drop-down menu. In the middle pane you will see all of the drives you currently have active on your computer. If the new drive is not displayed as "Healthy" in the Status column then that may be because it is not formatted. New drives will come preformatted, but in some cases you may have to format the drive for Windows to see it.

5. Step5

   Right-click the drive you have to format. Select the "Format..." option.

6. Step6

   Select "NTFS" in the File System drop-down menu. This file system is more secure than the other options available.

7. Step7

   Click the "OK" button. The formatting will take some time on larger drives. Do not close the Computer Management window until the format is finished. Under the Status column you will see the word "Formatting." When this changes to "Healthy," you will know that the formatting process is finished and that your new drive is now accessible.

How to Delete a Program Not Listed in Add/Remove

Not all programs use the same installers. Some programs use the standard Windows installer, but others will create their own. Some manufacturers do not want to make it easy for the consumer to remove their software. Many gaming companies create their own uninstallers. It is always a good idea to look in their installation folder for a uninstall.exe or unwise.exe file before doing the steps in this article. These particular .exe files will uninstall the program for you and save you the time spent doing the rest of the uninstall processes.

Instructions

Windows Vista and Windows 7

1. Step1

   Right-click the application's shortcut. Select "Properties" from the drop-down menu.

2. Step2

   Write down the path name in the Target text box. This is where the program's executable file is. Go to the folder that contains the executable file and delete the folder. Now the main data is gone, and you will want to check if it is still in your Windows startup.

3. Step3

   Click on the "Start" button on your taskbar. Type "msconfig" in the Start Search box.

4. Step4

   Click the "Startup" tab. Locate an entry that has your problematic program in it. Uncheck the box next to the program name.

5. Step5

   Click the "OK" button. This will stop the program from starting every time Windows starts. Now you must remove entries in the registry.

6. Step6

   Click on the "Start" button on your taskbar. Type "regedit." The Registry Editor will open.

7. Step7

   Follow the following path: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications an". Look for a folder that contains the name of the program you are removing.

8. Step8

   Right-click the folder and select the "Delete" option. Close the Registry Editor and reboot your computer.

   
   

Windows XP

9. Step1

   Go to your C:\Windows\Inf folder. In the Inf folder locate a file called sysoc.inf.

10. Step2

    Right-click the sysoc.inf file. Select the "Open With" option, and then select the "Notepad" option.

11. Step3

    Locate the name of the program you want to remove in the document. In the string that defines the program there will be the word "HIDE."

12. Step4

    Delete the word "HIDE" (not the commas around it) from the entry.

13. Step5

    Save the file. Reboot your computer. Go back into the Add/Remove programs section and you will see that the program is now present and can be removed.
