Introduction of Windows 7

Windows 7 has a more elegant and sophisticated look than all previous versions of Windows. The new 7 interface is great to look at, with a lot of added functionality making working in 7 a really pleasant experience -- and a more secure one.

This is the graphical user interface for Windows 7. Its name is a contraction of the words Authentic, Energetic, Reflective and Open.  It includes new transparencies, live thumbnails, live icons and animations which are visually very appealing. Glass window borders and surfaces make the interface both professional and beautiful.

This is a long, vertical bar that is displayed on the side of your desktop. It contains mini-programs called gadgets, which offer information at a glance and provide easy access to frequently used tools. To add a gadget, right-click on the sidebar and select “Add Gadgets”. Now simply drag a gadget from the Gadget gallery onto the sidebar. To remove a gadget from the sidebar, move your mouse over it and click on the “X” sign next to it. Additional gadgets can also be downloaded from the Microsoft Gadgets website by clicking on “Get more gadgets online”.

Search boxes are prominently integrated into Windows Explorer, the Start menu, Control Panel, Windows Internet Explorer and Help. So no matter where you are, you can always search for related files, folders or information. Two types of searches are supported: Regular search, where a search is performed when you click the “Search” button, and Instant search, where the results are displayed immediately as you type.
