PC,Simplified

With Windows 7 to be launched on October 22 this year,and a tagline that says,”It works the way I want”,the software is basically being designed on three basic principals. “To simplify,to make new things possible and bring in an increased GB,” Popli says since more GB means more files,and more files means more time required to search a file,an improved search system has also been installed that not only highlights the file name searched but also lists the key elements of the file. With facilities like ‘Home Group’ that allows two PCs in a given radius to communicate and to transfer data with just a password,touch screen,increased security and snap tool,its compatibility with hi-tech gadgets sets it apart. “The drivers of devices like phone,camera,printers and fax machines are pre-loaded and so,it’s easier and less time consuming to connect them,” Popli points out.

For those,who like to keep their desktop clean there’s an improved task bar,where you can just pin the item or list on the jump list for easy access. In addition to this,keeping the environment eco-friendly is Windows 7’s new feature of reduced shut down and resume time. “Also,you can set colour contrast to save power,that too upto 10 to 12 per cent of battery power!” Rajiv gives us a peek-a-boo before the product hits the market and talks at length about their all-new search engine bing.com that has an aesthetic appeal,takes into consideration broader perspective and brings in more relevant search. “And Internet Explorer 8 has ‘Accelerators’ that use the information on page to get more data about a particular word,place,phrase. For easy updates we have added ‘Slices’ that gives snippets of recent news in a small box on the top,” Popli clicks open exploremyway.com that demonstrates a bit about the explorer and puts forward a quiz to play.
