||
| Time: 15:01 EST/20:01 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
Andre has posted his 70-page review of Microsoft's next upcoming operating system, Windows 7. The review covers everything from accessories to Virtual XP Mode and everything in-between (26 sections total). Byron Hinson and Fernando Fhualpa have also contributed. Here is an excerpt from the executive summary: "While people asked these questions, I wanted to know, what would be the fundamental and immediate benefits? How would it build on the ease of use features that first appeared in Windows Vista? What about performance? Finally, the day of PDC 2008 arrived and people were looking forward to the first official demo of Windows 7 in months which promised to show some of the major new benefits of the operating system. Steven Sinofsky opened up the keynote with a brief introduction discussing what Windows 7 was all about, along with the benefits. Ten months later, we arrive at Windows 7 RTM…" |

And the new site IS coming...here are some of the new features to what you requested:
key points - there is an export distiller and a scheduler - so people can build their own content and schedule when they may be delivered and in what format similarly, they may have more than one, or create them on the fly so if you only want news about IIS pull all related news with what we call "Deep Links" which is off-site content pulled into their personal build You can export into these formats: PDF, HTML, MHTML Archives, and XPS alternatively, you access a variety of XML for inclusion in their own tools/apps and feed from the site Like I said, Lloyd is just working away over there. It's 96% done (feature complete beta) |

| #3: If you put the crack pipe down for a few hours you will be able to post lucid comments that make sense to others. |

| Or simply read a relatively short and summarized article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_7 that nearly covers every new feature. |

| Or instead of reading wiki, read the tech site that you came to visit to read about Windows products, including the review above which took weeks to do. |
