Windows 7 is a bold step forward for Microsoft, or a gradual improvement in previous operating systems?
Windows 7 might even be a step backward? Microsoft already has two precedents for this: Windows ME and Windows Vista.
Although Windows 7 has had a bit of a facelift, it did not intend to shake with new features.
According to the design team, a goal for Windows 7 is fully compatible with Vista compatible software. It is also designed to work with Vista drivers.
Even during the beta testing of products, it is usually possible to use Vista drivers for the hardware before 7 specific Windows drivers to be released by the hardware manufacturer.
Some have described Vista as a beta version of Windows 7, and somehow this seems an accurate description. Many features of Windows Vista to carry 7, and some features of Vista before they were deleted, for example, the classic Start menu.
The most visible change is the taskbar. Since widows 95, has looked more or less the same, although there have been some changes and improvements from one version to the next.
Windows 7 has a completely new look to the taskbar, and some important developments. If this is change for change's sake, or actually a better system remains to be seen.
Finally, Windows 7 will probably end up being a more refined version of Vista. Hopefully this means an improvement in Vista, and without the many problems that create so many complaints about Vista.
