Windows 7 : Latest Operating System From Microsoft

What Is Windows 7 ?

Windows 7 in next major upgrade to the windows class of operating systems from Microsoft. This will be the next major version of Windows after Vista.

Windows 7 will be having two flavors namely client ( 32 bit and 64 bit) and server. Although the exact launch date is still not available, it has already become a news in technical circles. Among other things, Windows 7 is quite different from other Windows versions in that , it is not backward compatible. All the previous versions were backward compatible, meaning you could run the software which was programmed for Windows XP on Windows Vista too. This latest version breaks that tradition.

Bill Gates talks of many improvements in Windows 7 like it is ligh on memory, it is more efficient in execution and it scores up well as a gaming platform. One most notable thing about this version is that Microsoft is keeping a comparatively low-profile about this latest offering. From its launch date to its features nothing much is revealed from Microsoft yet.

There are rumors that Windows 7 will come in different building blocks which will be configurable separately . If this is really true this will be a milestone in the history of Windows class operating system. We will not have to face the bloated windows that eats up your hard disk space like termite. Windows 7 will take on the virtualization in a big way by giving native support to this exciting technology.

Ease, security and connectivity are the keywords behind the development of Windows 7. Though Microsoft is tight-lipped about its salient features , the latest version of Windows will be a landmark in the history of Microsoft. Microsoft is making every effort to make this OS easy to use, efficient in operation and better connected. There will be new versions of Paint and Wordpad.

For now we can not do much but keep our fingers crossed about what Windows 7 will bring in its wake, but one thing is sure Microsoft has to finalize its release date otherwise it may loose some time opportunity as its competitors are already offering very features in their own operating system.
