Windows 7 explained in seven sentences

1. Windows 7 doesn't have the big architectural changes of Vista - or the compatibility problems - so all your stuff that works with Vista should work fine with Windows 7.

2. Windows 7 doesn't nag you like Vista does - many notifications are banished to a control panel, you get to approve icons before they show up in the system tray and you can choose which UAC prompts you want to see, or turn them off altogether.

3. Windows 7 uses Jump Lists to put what you're most likely to want to do at your fingertips by showing recent and frequently used documents, so if you click Internet Explorer in the Start menu or taskbar you can view a list of recently visited websites, for example.

4. Windows 7 makes home networking easier with a feature called HomeGroup, which offers a simple wizard-driven approach to network connections and file and folder sharing, while it also makes it easier to get connected to Wi-Fi or 3G networks, by using a menu that lists all the access points that pops up right from the system tray.

5. Windows 7 won't feature Windows 7 Ultimate Extras (they're dead!), or the native Vista accessories that are duplicated as Windows Live tools - stuff like Mail, Photo Gallery, Messenger and so on will be downloadable in 'wave three' of Windows Live.

6. Windows 7 will run faster than Vista, according to the Windows Performance team, which says that "if a system runs Windows Vista it should run Windows 7 faster and a notebook that runs Vista should get better battery life on Windows 7".

7. Windows 7 will run happily on netbooks, according to Microsoft's Steven Sinofksy, who says the Windows 7 team is "really quite pleased internally with performance of Windows 7 even on what we today consider to be low-end netbooks; the ones that run with an Atom processor, the ones that have a gigabyte of RAM."

Sounds good... Especially cuz people who upgraded or bought new system for Vista won't have to do that again to run Windows 7... Thats very important!
