Windows 7 next version

Windows 7: Microsoft Windows’ next version
A little time after launching Windows Vista, Microsoft started the development of the new Windows 7, a new software that would allow compatibility with older versions through virtualization. This operating system forte will be its performance and above all its starting time has been lowered down significantly; for this, Microsoft has reduced the amount of programs, processes and services that are carried out when the operating system starts.

The last January 9th 2009, Microsoft presented the first beta public version of Windows 7, and due to the amount of downloads from this version, Microsoft has extended the download dead line up to February 10th 2009 entering to this website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx.

Some criticism has been recorded regarding the Beta version launched, but the highlighted critics by the users would be that this version corrupts the MP3 files, editing them with Windows Media Player, Windows Explorer, Windows Media Center, or any other component of the operating system that could try to modify the information in the MP3 files, information such as the author, the year, the album it belongs to, etc.

This system failure makes the affected file to lose the first seconds of the track permanently. Microsoft announced immediately that an update correct the issue.

On the other hand, Microsoft guarantees that the new Windows 7 includes a series of new characteristics from which the following stand out:

-Typing lines will recognize what the user is keying. Implications of this function are simply copying the “auto complete” function, found in modern search engines, (such as Google Suggest) or as a way of giving verbal commands to the PC without worrying about syntax.

-There will be Items in the control panel representing any external hardware connected to the PC (digital frames, printers, photo cameras, etc.)

For those who are currently trying Windows 7 without having antivirus software installed, 3 known companies such as Symantec, Kaspersky and AVG are offering beta users special versions from what will become the next antivirus software for Microsoft’s new operating system.

As it is already known, Microsoft’s commitment towards this new version is efficiency, performance, and above all, detection capacity, that is why antivirus software will have to find the way of using the fewest amounts of system resources possible, which is not a simple task.

Apparently, this new version is one of the most expected by the users. Will Windows 7 be better than Windows Vista, and above all… simpler to use?
