Windows 7 سيصدر في 6 نسخ مختلفة

أعتقد أن أسوا كوابيسنا على وشك أن تبدأ

الله يعين أهل الويندوز على الويندوز ..
لا تعليق .

الضحك علي الذقون ،،،،،

احيي جهد مايكروسفت الدائم لادخال ويندوز اصلي لكل بيت خصوصا في الدول النامية لتوفيهم بالادوات اللازمة للنموهم التقني تانيا لمادا يحتار الكل و يتدمر ببساطة خد النسخة التي تلبي احتياجاتك و هي واضحة جدا النسخة البروفيسيونال و الالتميت و اريد ان اشر ان على عكس الفيستا مستخدمو الويندوز 7 هوم بروميوم يستطيعون الترقية الى الالتميت و من اشترى الفيستا بعد 1 يناير 2009 فالترقية من الفيستا الىالويندوز 7 مجانية

هنالك من لا يفهم للآن سبب وجود نُسخ مُختلفة .. و لن يفهم و لهذا لن أكرر الشرح الذي شرحته لاناس مرار و لم يفهمو للآن ..

مايكروسوفت ، لا يفهمها إلا العاقلون فقط .. و ما دون ذلك .. في صندوق كجماجم خاوية ..

…..

و اللي يقول ويندوز 7 ما فيه شي جديد .. الحمدلله رب العالمين .. هذاحده يلعب سولتر و يتصف إنترنت .. و لهذا برضو ما في امل يفهم ..

تحياتي

التنوع في نسخ ويندوز مهم لتنوع احتياجات الناس وميزانياتهم والي يبي الكل حتى لو كان ما يناسب جهازه عشان يدمر مثل ما صار مع فيستا يثتري الالتميت
والي بركبها على اجهزة عالية الاداء بيشوف الاداء

قريت مره ان نسخة starter كانت مايكروسفت تبي تبيعها ب 10 دولارات فقط لتعزيز الويندوز في الدول النامية على حساب النسخ الغير شرعية والانظمة المجانية , ولو تعملها راح تكون فعلة قووووووووووووية ومقدره اتجاه تلك الدول – الله اعلم –

أتمنى أنها تعالج ما وجدناه من ثقل في الفيستا

و هذا فعلاً ما لاحظته في Windows 7 البيتا

نسخه واحده بسعر في متناول الجميع تجمع كل المتطلبات ، ويتم تفعيل وابطال المميزات من النظام أفضل من خمس او 7 نسخ .
تستطيع مايكروسوفت فعل ذلك ، لكن الظاهر همها جني الأموال لسد خسائر الإختبارات

“كلام منطقي جداً ..لماذا لا تقوم مايكروسوفت .. بعمل نسخه جامعه مثل الالتميت ,, وعند قيام المستخدم بتنصيب النظام يختار حاجته هل يريدها ..Windows 7 Starter او Windows 7 Home Premium او نسخة Professional .. ويكون السعر واحد ويستطيع المستخدم توفيره ،، في هذه الخطوه راح نقول مايكروسوفت نعم في الطريق الصحيح …”

نزلت نُسخة ويندوز بيتا في مؤتمر pdc نسخة بيتا لويندوز 7 بدون مزايا أو بمزايا مُعطلة ..

و تم تفعيل الكثير منها ، كما هو الآن عن طريق اختراق النسخة و تفعيل أمور كثيرة في النظام ..

هنالك من يعتقدون بان مايكروسوفت غبية ..

لو تم إنزال نُستخة واحد بتفعيل و إلغاء خصائص

لاشترى الناس نسخة هوم بيسك جميعهم و افعلو فيها الخصائص عن طريق الإختراق .. و انتهت القضية ..

مشكلتي أني لازم أشرح دائما أشرح نفس الكلام .. و في ناس لسة يحبو التكرار ..

أولا :

النسخ المُختلفة هي لتلبية احتياجات الناس المُختلفة ، اللي ماله بالكمبيوتر و يلعب بس سوليتر و جيك الإيميل هذا له البيسك ، حرام يدفع قيمة ألتي ميت و هو ما بيستخدم ميزاته .. و اللي له بالبرمجة و له بالديزايننق و له بإدارة الشبكات و إدراة النظام ألتي ميت راح يكون مُناسب و راح يكون سعره فير بالنسبة له ..

و مابين هذي الأنواع كل واحد له استخدامه ..

بالنسبة لأبل ..

ما تنواع لأن التنويع عندها خسارة .. لكن لو تدخل السوق بنسبة 50 % و الله راح تنوع غصب .. لأن المجتمع الإلكتروني و مُجتمع الأنظمة يستدعي هذا الشي ..

و المسالة الثانية

لمى تنزل أبل نظام جديد كلي مو أبقريد .. أو أبديت .. للنظام اللي سبقه .. يعني لمى تطلع من جو 10.x بعدين نتفاهم على السعر ..

خلنا نشوف 11 و نشوف كم راح يكون سعره ..

تحياتي

الظاهر أن الخبر ليس كاملا ،

للذين يتبجحون أن مايكروسوفت سوف تراعي الناس الغلابا ، أخبركم أن نسخة Windows 7 starter

لا يمكنها تشغيل أكثر من ثلاثة برامج في نفس الوقت ، ولا تحوي على أية تأثيرات ،،

مساكين ولله ،، وبعد يقولوا نشتغل على ويندوز 7

مازال هناك اشخاص يدافعون ويهجمون بأسلوب العدو وليس بأسلوب الأخ الناصح !
لنترفع يا عالم ولنكون يد واحده مع أي نظام يعجبنا ! مهما كانت ميولك أبقها لك لكن لا تتهجم على المستخدم الآخر لأنه يختلف نظامه عن نظامك!

لنكون أكثر عقلانية ، وأكثر فائدة!
لنكسب الأجر ، وندع كسب الأثم الرخيص !

أخوكم خالد

اخي نصر تسلم على التوضيح أكثر
الأخ خالد : جزاك الله ألف خير على ردك
الأخ حبيب كلام عين العقل وكلامك لا عليه غبار .
الأخ علي : مازالت لا تتقبل الأراء وانا طرحت الفكره ، لكن انته فهمتها بالمقلوب .
ولكي أوضح لك الأمر أكثر انته في كلا الحالات دافع قيمة النسخه المتكامله بالكامل ، مثل الأوفيس لما تجي تنصبه عندك تثبيت تام او مخصص ، ان ثبته تثبيت تام ما عندك اي مشكله ، وان ثبت فقط الوورد والاكسل بعد هذا خيارك ، ولا تقدر تقول لمايكروسوفت رجعوا لي باقي فلوسي لاني ما بستخدم الا الوورد والأكسل .
الهدف من هذا الخيارات بتكون اكثر حريه للمستخدم اضف الى انه وضع السعر يكون متناسب للجميع .
اما مسألة اختراق النسخه ، لن تكون هنالك اختراقات والسبب انه الشخص دافع القيمة ، وبعد اصلا اول ما بينزل ويندوز 7 ثاني يوم الأكتفيشن مالي التورنت والمنتديات وحتى يحلوا هذه المشكله لازم اتكون نسخة وندوز 7 نسخه واحد وسعرها متناول الجميع ، صحيح راح يكون هنالك اشخاص بيستخدمون نسخ مقرصنه لكن بيكونوا محدودين لكن كثير من الناس راح يشترونها ، اما في حالة عدد النسخ حتى اللي عنده نسخه اصلية مثل Windows 7 Home Basic راح يحذفها ويركب الالتميت حتى وان كان لا يحتاجها لاننا دائما نحب الأفضل .

خالص الود والمحبه

دحين أقدر أعمل أبقريد مجاني لل 7 ولا لأ ؟؟؟؟؟؟

سؤال للأخ علي : وندوز 7 هل تعتبره تحديث للفيستا ام هو اصدار آخر ؟؟؟
وإذا كان ويندوز 7 اصدار آخر وليس تحديث ، اتمنى تذكر لنا على الأقل 300 ميزه جديده تميزه عن نظام فيستا السابق ؟
اما اذا كان هو مجرد تحديث للفيستا ، لماذا لا تعطي مايكروسوفت تحديث مجاني للمستخدمين فيستا كونهم اشتروا النسخه في السابق ؟؟

وهنا اطرح لك 300 ميزه الجديده التي تميز نظام ليوبارد 10.5.0 عن التايقر 10.4.0 .
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/300.html

البعض هنا اصبح يدافع عن مايكروسوفت بشكل يدعو للسخرية, و كأنه محامي الدفاع عنها!
ياخي حسستنا انه ويندوز 7 كأنه نقله كبيرة و كبيرة جداً عن النظام الذي سبقه, ترا الاغلبية هنا جرب النظام و شاهد التغييرات يا اخ العرب 😀
صحيح, لذلك نجد ويندوز فيستا الذي استغرقت مايكروسوفت العريقة 5 سنوات في تطويره قد اضاف الجديد للنظام, الظاهر انه استهلاك الرامات لاكثر من النصف – المشكلة انها 3 جيجا – من فيستا و دون تشغيل اي تطبيق آخر يعتبر انجاز و تقدم كبير جدا بالنظام في نظر البعض البعض!

عجبي!!

التقسيمات متقاربة مع الإصدارات السابقة

لننظر إلى بعض المُغالطات أو لنقل بعض النعيق :

” 5 سنوات في تطويره قد اضاف الجديد للنظام,”

من أين أتى هذا الأخ بهذه المعلومة لكي ينقلها إلى القارئ ؟؟

هذا الشخص يستمع إلى كذب و يأتي هنا لكي ينقله كاذبا حالفا به إلى الناس ..

يا اخي عيب عليك .. إذا ما تعرف .. الصمت خير و التعلم أزين ..

فيستا يُعتبر كنظام تحت خطة طارئة .. بسبب تعثر نظام لونق هورن الذي كان من المُفترض إصداره نهايات 2003 أو بدايات 2004 .. فمن أين أتيت ب 5 سنوات ؟؟

عيب أٌقسم بالله عيب ..

إذا تقدمت في معرفتك .. ستفهم أن مايكروسوفت تقدمت .

تحياتي

اقتباس : ( نصر
هل نظام ويندوز 7 نظام جديد كلي عن فيستا .. ام هو تحديث فقط ؟؟
وإن كان نظام جديد .. اطرح لنا 300 ميزه جديدة عن الفيستا ؟؟
وان كانت المميزات الجديده فقط تحديثات لتصليح الفيستا ولملمت الأوراق الخاسره للفيستا .. لماذا لا تطرح النظام مجانا للي اشتروا ويملكون نسخة فيستا اصليه ؟؟
علماً بأن الأخ شهاب .. وضع لك رابط للميزات الجديده في النظام وهي تفوق 300 ميزه .)

ننتظر الإجابه

لا و عجبتني وي آر لنكس

خخخخخخخخخ

من كثر الإبتكارات .. سرقتوها من I’M A PC ..

و الله حالة ..

أنتو واجد عليكم لابتوبات إكس أو

علي ممكن ترحمنا بسكاتك ترا فضحتنا :S ان كنت مو قادر اتجاوب لا تماطل في المواضيع وتتفلسف .. ارحم حالك وارحمنا سودت وجيهنا قدام العالم .

لو سمحت اخي علي جاوب على السؤال اللي طرحه الاخ شهاب

ولل المره الثانية و الأخيرة
هل أستطيع ترقية وندوز زفـتـا إلى وندوز كوكتيل ؟

كعادته لا يستطيع ان يجاوب لانه لا يملك الجواب ولا يعرف شئ ، حشو كلام على الفاضي ، خبراته وتجاربه كلها من صنع خياله او من احلامه .

( أساله عن أبوه يقول لي هارون أخوه )

أخ علي ، أتمنى أن تحسن طريقة حوارك مع الناس وتختار ألفاظ لائقة بدلاً من ألفاظ سوق الخضار.

فنحن هنا أولاً وأخيراً مجرد أناس نقرأ عن كل ماهو جديد في عالم التقنية ، ولكني لاحظت انك متعصب للويندوز تعصب يضع عليه علامات استفهام ، فالناس قد يتعصبون لنادي معين أو مذهب معين أو مكان معين .

أما أن يتعصبوا لمجرد نظام تشغيل لا راح ولا جاء ، فهناك فعلاً مشكلة أو عقدة لديهم .

خبر محزن جداً ، اذا كان فعلا هذه الأسعار حقيقه ، راح نظل على الأكس بي أرحم 🙁
أسعار نظام ويندوز 7 ، النظام وليس التحديثات :
Windows 7 Starter: $199
Windows 7 Home Premium: $259

Windows 7 Pre-release (M3) Privacy Supplement
Note that this page is a supplement to the Windows 7 Pre-release (M3) Privacy Statement . In order to understand the data collection and use practices relevant for a particular feature, site, or service, you should read the Windows 7 Pre-release (M3) Privacy Statement and any applicable supplement.

Last Updated: October 2008

Activation
What this feature does
Activation helps reduce software counterfeiting, which helps ensure that Microsoft customers receive the software quality they expect. Once your software is activated, a specific product key becomes associated with the computer (the hardware) on which your software is installed. This association prevents the product key from being used to activate the same copy of the software on multiple computers. Some changes to your computer components or the software might require you to reactivate the software.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
During activation, product key information is sent to Microsoft along with a non-unique number generated from the computer’s hardware configuration. The number does not represent any personal information or information about the software. It cannot be used to determine the make or model of the computer and it cannot be calculated to determine any additional information about your computer. Along with standard computer information, some additional language settings are collected.

Use of information
Microsoft uses the information to confirm that you have a licensed copy of the software, and then it is aggregated for statistical analysis. Microsoft does not use the information to identify you or contact you.

Choice and control
Activation is mandatory and must be completed within a predefined grace period. If you choose not to activate the software, you cannot use it after the grace period expires. If the software is not correctly licensed, you will not be able to activate it.

Audit
What this feature does
Auditing allows an administrator to configure Windows to record operating system activity in a security log, which can be accessed using the Event Viewer and other programs. This log can help an administrator detect unauthorized access to the computer or resources on the computer, and to troubleshoot problems.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
Administrators determine what information is collected, how long it is retained, and whether it is transmitted to other parties. The information can include personal information, such as user names or file names. For more information, contact your administrator.

Use of information
Administrators also determine how the audit information is used. Generally, the security log is used by auditors and administrators to track computer activity or to identify unauthorized access to the computer or resources on the computer.

Choice and control
Administrators determine whether this feature is enabled and how users are notified. The security log cannot be viewed by other users unless specifically permitted by an administrator.

BitLocker™ Drive Encryption
What this feature does
BitLocker Drive Encryption (BitLocker) is available on computers running Windows 7 Enterprise Edition and Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. Should your computer be lost or stolen, BitLocker protects your data by helping to prevent offline software attacks. Turning on BitLocker encrypts the hard drive where Windows is installed, including all information that is stored on that drive.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
When BitLocker is turned on, cryptographic keys in memory continually encrypt and decrypt data as it is read from or written to the protected hard drive. During BitLocker setup, you can choose to print a recovery password or to save it to a USB flash drive or location on your network. In an enterprise environment, administrators can automatically save recovery information to Active Directory Domain Services. BitLocker associates one or more globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) with each protected hard drive to help manage each drive. These GUIDs are removed when BitLocker is disabled.

If your computer is equipped with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2 security hardware, BitLocker uses the TPM to provide hardware-enhanced data protection. For more information, see Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Services (below). On TPM-equipped computers, you can also set up a personal identification number (PIN) to add an extra layer of protection for your encrypted data. BitLocker will store this TPM-based PIN in a hashed and encrypted form on the hard drive.

Use of information
Cryptographic keys and GUIDs are stored in computer memory to support BitLocker operations. BitLocker recovery information allows you to access your protected data in case of hardware failures and other problems. This recovery information allows BitLocker to distinguish between authorized and unauthorized users. Information collected by BitLocker is not sent to Microsoft.

Choice and control
BitLocker is not turned on by default. An administrator can turn on or turn off BitLocker at any time by going to BitLocker Drive Encryption in Control Panel.

Crypto Application Programming Interface (API) Diagnostics
What this feature does
The Crypto API Diagnostics feature logs events associated with a program’s use of certificates.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
Information is collected about the certificates that you use, or that are used by the operating system and programs installed on your computer. Once this feature is enabled, the information is collected in an event log and can be viewed using Event Viewer.

Use of information
Administrators can use the information to identify and troubleshoot certificate trust issues. Administrators can also export the information to a file, for example, that can be sent to technical experts, such as Microsoft Premier Support, for analysis. No information is automatically sent to Microsoft.

Choice and control
The Crypto API Diagnostics feature is turned off by default, and it can be turned on or off only by an administrator. Unless you are experiencing a problem with certificates, you might not want to turn on this feature, which can decrease the performance of your computer. Administrators can configure Crypto API Diagnostics to log different parts of the certificate trust process, and they can determine the amount of information collected.

Device Information Retrieval
What this feature does
Device Information Retrieval downloads information from Microsoft for your hardware devices and displays it in the Windows 7 Devices and Printers control panel, and when you first install and use a device, in the Device Stage.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
In order to retrieve relevant device information, this feature sends data to Microsoft, including your Device ID (for example, HardwareID or Model ID of the device you are using), your locale, and the date that device information was last updated. The device information downloaded to your computer might include model name, description, device manufacturer logo, and device-related tasks.

Use of information
The information collected is used to help download relevant device information. No information sent is used to identify or contact you.

Choice and control
If you choose the recommended settings during Windows 7 setup, you turn on Device Information Retrieval. You can turn this feature off by going to Devices and Printers in Control Panel. Right-click your computer icon, and then click Device Installation Settings. Select “No, let me choose what to do” and click to clear the “Display enhanced device icons…” check box.

Device Manager
What this feature does
Device Manager helps you install the latest drivers for your hardware devices. Using the Update Driver Software Wizard, you can update device drivers for hardware installed on your computer, modify hardware settings, and troubleshoot device and driver problems.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
To determine which updates apply to your hardware, configuration information is collected from your computer and sent to Microsoft. Device Manager and the Update Driver Software Wizard work with Windows Update to collect this information. To learn more about the information collected by Windows Update and how it is used, see the Update Services Privacy Statement online at the Microsoft website.

Use of information
The information collected is used to determine which updates apply to your computer hardware and to devices that you’ve installed. Microsoft does not use the information collected about your computer configuration to identify you or contact you.

Choice and control
Device Manager is enabled by default, and cannot be disabled. However, Device Manager will only send configuration information to Microsoft and download updated drivers when you open the Update Driver Software Wizard and choose to update your driver software. For more information about how to open Device Manager or how to use the Update Driver Software Wizard, see Windows Help and Support.

Driver Protection
What this feature does
Driver Protection helps prevent the operating system from starting drivers that are known to cause stability problems. These drivers are listed in a Driver Protection List database that is stored on your computer. The Driver Protection List is updated through Windows Update and Dynamic Update (below). Driver Protection checks this database while the operating system is running. These checks are performed to determine whether to start a driver. For more information, see the Driver Protection List article online at the Microsoft website.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
Updated versions of required drivers are downloaded to your computer if you’ve enabled Windows Update. To learn more about the information collected by Windows Update and how it is used, see the Update Services Privacy Statement. Administrators can also distribute updated versions of required drivers to computers on a network.

Use of information
Windows notifies you if a driver that is listed in the Driver Protection List starts. If you click the notification, Windows will ask if you want to report the problem to Microsoft so you can check for solutions or for more information. If you don’t click the notification, Windows will automatically create an error report and, depending on your problem reporting settings, ask you to send it later. To view or change your problem reporting settings, or to manually send reports at any time, use the options provided in Windows Solution Center in Control Panel. To learn more about the information in these error reports and how they are used, see Microsoft Error Reporting Service (below).

During Windows setup, if a driver on your system is listed in the Driver Protection List, you will be notified before the operating system finishes installing. You can cancel setup and find an alternate driver solution before installing the operating system, or you can continue the setup process and install an alternate driver later. In this case, Windows might disable the driver in order to complete the installation. After the installation is complete and you log on, the operating system will notify you, as described above.

Choice and control
Driver Protection works with Windows Update and, during Windows setup, with Dynamic Update. To prevent Driver Protection from updating the Driver Protection List database on your computer, refrain from using Windows Update and Dynamic Update.

Back to top

Dynamic Update
What this feature does
Dynamic Update enables Windows 7 to perform a one-time check with the Windows Update website to get the latest updates for your computer while Windows is being installed. If updates are found, Dynamic Update automatically downloads and installs them so your computer is up to date the first time that you log on or use it.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
To install compatible drivers, Dynamic Update works with Windows Update to send information to Microsoft about your computer’s hardware. The types of updates Dynamic Update can download to your computer include:

Installation updates: Important software updates for installation files to help ensure a successful installation.

In-box driver updates: Important driver updates for the version of Windows that you are installing.

Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool updates: Updates for the latest version of this tool which can help remove malicious software such as viruses and worms if it detects them on your computer.

Event Viewer
What this feature does
Computer users, primarily administrators, can use Event Viewer to view and manage event logs. Event logs contain information about hardware and software problems and about security events on your computer. For example, application logs contain event information generated by all users and the programs that they use on the computer. By default, all users can view application log entries; however, administrators can choose to restrict access to Event Viewer logs.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
You can access the event logs for your computer by opening Event Viewer. To learn how to open Event Viewer, see Windows Help and Support. To view event details, you can preview the event or view the event properties. A link to more information, called Event Log Online Help, is included both in the Event Properties dialog box and in the Event Preview pane. Unless you have previously consented to sending event information automatically, clicking the link will display a dialog box asking for your consent to send the information listed in the dialog box over the Internet. If you consent, the information is sent to a website to see if more information about the event is available, including solutions to problems that are recorded as an event. For Microsoft events, the event details will be sent to Microsoft. For events associated with third-party programs, the information will be sent to the location specified by the third-party publisher or manufacturer.

Use of information
Event information that is collected and sent to Microsoft when you click the Event Log Online Help link is used to locate and then provide you with additional information about the event. Microsoft does not use this information to contact you or identify you. If you send information about events to third-party publishers or manufacturers, use of the information will be subject to the third party’s privacy practices.

Choice and control
When you click Event Log Online Help, you are asked to confirm that the information presented to you can be sent over the Internet. No event log information will be sent over the Internet unless you consent to send it. Administrators can use Group Policy to select or change the site to which event information is sent.

Installation Improvement Program
What this feature does
If you choose to participate in the Installation Improvement Program, the feature sends a single report to Microsoft. The report contains basic information about your computer and how you installed Windows 7. We use this information to help improve the installation experience and to create solutions to common installation problems.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
The report generally includes information about your installation and setup experience, such as the date of installation, the time it took for each installation phase to complete, whether the installation was an upgrade or a new installation of the product, version details, operating system language, media type, computer configuration, and success or failure status, along with any error codes.

The report is sent to Microsoft when you are connected to the Internet. This report does not contain contact information, such as your name, address, or phone number. A globally unique identifier (GUID) is generated and sent with the report. The GUID is a randomly generated number that uniquely identifies your computer; it does not contain personal information.

Use of information
Microsoft and our partners use the report to improve our software. We use the GUID to correlate this data with data collected by the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP), a program you can choose to participate in when you are using Windows 7. This GUID enables us to distinguish how widespread the feedback we receive is and how to prioritize it. For example, the GUID allows Microsoft to distinguish between one customer experiencing a problem 100 times and 100 customers experiencing the same problem once. Microsoft does not use the information collected by CEIP to identify you or contact you.

Choice and control
For pre-release versions of Windows, the Installation Improvement Program is turned on by default. You can also choose to participate in this program when you install Windows 7 by selecting the “I want to help make Windows installation better” check box.

Internet Printing
What this feature does
Internet printing makes it possible for computers running Windows 7 to use printers located anywhere in the world by sending print jobs using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
When you print using this feature, you must first connect and authenticate yourself to an Internet print server. The information that you will need to submit to the print server will vary depending on the level of security that the print server supports (for example, you might be asked to provide a user name and password). Because the print job is unencrypted, it may be possible for others to see the content being sent. Once you are connected, you are presented with a list of available printers. If your computer does not have a print driver for your selected printer, you may choose to download a driver from the print server. If you choose to use a print server hosted by Microsoft, Microsoft does not use the information that you provide to identify you or contact you.

Use of information
The information collected enables you to print using remote printers. If you send information to third-party print servers, use of the information will be subject to the third party’s privacy practices.

Choice and control
You can enable or disable Internet printing by going to Programs and Features in Control Panel and selecting “Turn Windows features on or off.”

Microsoft Error Reporting Service
What this feature does
The Microsoft Error Reporting Service helps Microsoft and Windows partners diagnose problems in the software you use and provide solutions. Not all problems have solutions, but when solutions are available, they are offered as steps to solve a problem you’ve reported or as updates to install. To help prevent problems and make software more reliable, some solutions are also included in service packs and future versions of the software.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
Many Microsoft software programs, including Windows 7, are designed to work with the reporting service. If a problem occurs in one of these software programs, you are asked if you want to send a report to check for a solution. You can view the details of the report before sending it, although some files might not be in a readable format.

The reporting service collects the information that is most useful for diagnosing and solving the problem that has occurred, such as:

Where the problem happened in the software or hardware

The type or severity of the problem

Files that help describe the problem

Basic software and hardware information

Past software performance and compatibility problems

Full error reports might unintentionally contain personal information. Windows will ask if you want to send full error reports, even if you have enabled automatic reporting through the “Recommended settings” option in setup, or the Control Panel. This gives you the opportunity to review the report before sending it to Microsoft. Reports including files and data might be stored on your computer until you have an opportunity to review and send them, or after they have been sent. If an error report does contain personal information, Microsoft does not use the information to identify you or contact you.

After you report a problem, you might be asked to complete a survey about the error experience. If you choose to provide your phone number or e-mail address in response to the survey, your error report will be personally identifiable. Microsoft might contact you to request additional information to help solve the problem you reported.

Microsoft Error Reporting generates a globally unique identifier (GUID) that is stored on your computer and sent with error reports to uniquely identify your computer. The GUID is a randomly generated number; it does not contain any personal information and is not used to identify you. We use the GUID to distinguish how widespread the feedback we receive is and how to prioritize it. For example, the GUID allows Microsoft to distinguish between one customer experiencing a problem one hundred times and other customers experiencing the same problem once.

Use of information
Microsoft uses information about errors and problems to improve Microsoft products and services as well as third-party software and hardware designed for use with these products and services. Microsoft employees, contractors, vendors, and partners might be provided access to information collected by the reporting service. However, they will use the information only to repair or improve Microsoft products and services and third-party software and hardware designed for use with Microsoft products and services.

Microsoft might share aggregate information about errors and problems. Microsoft uses aggregate information for statistical analysis. Aggregate information does not contain specific information from individual reports, nor does it include any personal or confidential information that might have been collected from a report.

Choice and control
For pre-release versions of Windows 7, you are enrolled in Microsoft Error Reporting Services by default. Administrators can change participation settings for all users by going to Windows Solution Center in Control Panel.

Windows 7 also allows you to report problems automatically by choosing the “Recommended settings” option in setup. If you use automatic reporting, you are not typically prompted to send the error to Microsoft, but you will be prompted to review additional information in a full error report before it is sent. You can choose to stop reporting problems at any time.

Depending on the service, you can have your pictures printed and then delivered using postal mail, or you can pick up the prints at a local store.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
If you decide to place an order with an online photo printing service, your digital photos are sent over the Internet to the service that you selected. The full file locations of the digital pictures that you select are sent to the service in order to allow the service to display and upload the images. Digital picture files might contain data about the image that was stored with the file by the camera, such as the date and time that the picture was taken. The files might also contain personal information (such as captions) that may have been associated with the file through the use of digital picture management programs and Windows Explorer. For more information, see Properties (below).

Use of information
The information stored in the digital picture files by the camera may be used by the online photo printing service during the printing process, for example, to adjust the color or sharpness of the image before it is printed. Information stored by digital picture management programs may be used by the online photo printing service to print as captions on the front or back of the print copy. The online photo printing services’ use of this information will be subject to their privacy practices, so you should always consult the privacy statement of the online photo printing service you choose to use to determine how it uses this data.

Choice and control
You can use the Online Print Wizard to choose which pictures to send and which service to use to print your pictures. Some picture management programs might be able to help you remove stored personal information before sending pictures to be printed. You might also be able to edit the properties of the file to remove stored personal information. For more information about viewing or changing file properties, see Windows Help and Support.

Program Compatibility Assistant
What this feature does
If an incompatibility error is found with a program you attempt to run, Program Compatibility Assistant will try to help you resolve the compatibility issue. There are two types of programs that the feature can help with:

A known incompatible program: If the program is on the list of known incompatible programs that is included in Windows 7, the Program Compatibility Assistant starts. If the program is known to cause a serious problem, it will be blocked. Otherwise, Program Compatibility Assistant warns you about the incompatibility problem and offers you the option of running the program. In either case, the Program Compatibility Assistant offers the option of checking online for information or solutions.

A program that fails in a way that indicates incompatibility: If a program fails in a way that is typical of incompatible programs, the Program Compatibility Assistant starts and offers you the option of running the program again with recommended compatibility settings. For example, the Program Compatibility Assistant will start if you attempt to install a program that requires Windows compatibility mode.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
The Program Compatibility Assistant works with the Microsoft Error Reporting Service to report incompatibility errors to Microsoft. Error reports may be generated that include information such as the program name, the needed compatibility settings, and your actions with the program so far. If you attempt to start a program on the list of known incompatible programs, an error report is created only when you select the option to check online for a solution. If the program fails in a way that indicates incompatibility, an error report is immediately generated. Unless you have previously consented to report problems automatically so you can check for solutions, you are asked if you want to send the error report. Microsoft does not use the information to identify you or contact you.

For more information about Windows error reports and your privacy, see Microsoft Error Reporting Service.

Use of information
Error reports are used to provide you with responses to problems that you report for your programs. Responses contain links, when available, to the program vendor’s website so you can learn more about possible solutions. Error reports created due to program failures are used to try to determine which setting to adjust when you encounter application compatibility problems for the programs that you’re running on this version of Windows.

Remote Access Connections
What this feature does
Dial-up Networking allows you to access the Internet using a dial-up modem or broadband technology, such as a cable modem or a digital subscriber line (DSL). It also allows you to connect to private networks using a virtual private network (VPN) connection and Remote Access Service (RAS). RAS is a component that connects a client computer (typically your computer) to a host computer (also known as a remote access server) using industry standard protocols. VPN technologies allow users to connect to a private network, such as a corporate network, over the Internet.

Dial-up Networking includes dialer components such as RAS Client, Connection Manager, and RAS Phone, as well as command-line dialers like rasdial.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
The dialer components collect information from your computer such as your user name, password, domain name, and phone number. This information is sent to the system that you are attempting to connect with. No information is sent to Microsoft. To help protect your privacy and the security of your computer, security-related information such as your user name and password are encrypted and stored on your computer.

The Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK) is a server component that allows administrators to collect information they choose from users on a network. For more information, contact your system or network administrator.

Use of information
Dialer information is used to help your computer connect to the Internet. For CMAK, the information that is collected is used to create connection profiles, which help administrators to deploy and manage connections across a network. No information is sent to Microsoft.

Choice and control
For non-command-line dialers, you can choose to save your password by checking “Save this user name and password,” and can clear that option at any time to delete the previously saved password from the dialer. Since this option is turned off by default, you might be prompted to provide your password to connect to the Internet or a network. For command-line dialers like rasdial, there is no option to save your password.

Rights Management Services (RMS) Client
What this feature does
Rights Management Services (RMS) Client software is information protection technology that works with RMS enabled programs to help safeguard digital information from unauthorized use. You can define how recipients use the information contained in a file, such as who can open, modify, print, or take other actions with the file. In order to create or view a file with restricted permissions, your computer must be running an RMS-enabled program and have access to an RMS server.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
RMS uses your e-mail address to identify you. Your e-mail address will be stored on your computer in use licenses and identity certificates created by an RMS server. Identity certificates and use licenses are transferred to and from RMS servers. Your e-mail address is also stored on the RMS server. If your computer is part of an enterprise or networked environment, the RMS server is typically owned by and located within the enterprise. If you are using Windows Live RMS services, the server will be an RMS server at Microsoft. Information that is sent to Microsoft RMS servers is sent in an encrypted form.

Use of information
The use license allows you to access protected information. The identity certificate is used to identify you to an RMS server, and it allows you to protect information and access protected information.

Choice and control
RMS features must be enabled through an RMS-capable program and are not enabled by default. You can choose not to enable or use them, however if you do not enable them, you will not be able to open files with restricted permissions.

Teredo Technology
What this feature does
Teredo Technology (Teredo) allows computers and networks to communicate over multiple networking protocols.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
Each time you start your computer, if needed, to connect to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), Teredo will attempt to locate a public IPv6 Internet service on the Internet. If you use a program that requires Teredo to use IPv6 connectivity, or if you configure your firewall to always enable IPv6 connectivity, then Teredo will periodically contact the Microsoft Teredo service over the Internet. The only information sent to Microsoft is standard computer information and the name of the service requested (for example teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com).

Use of information
The DNS query is sent to determine if your computer is connected to the Internet and if it can locate a public IPv6 service. Once the service is located, if a program wants to use IPv6, it send periodic pings to the service.

Choice and control
Using the netsh command line tool, you can change the query that the service sends over the Internet to use non-Microsoft servers instead, or you can turn off this feature.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Services
What this feature does
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security hardware is a microchip built into some computers that, if present and initialized, enables your computer to take full advantage of advanced security features such as BitLocker™ Drive Encryption.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted
TPM Services include TPM initialization functionality to help you turn on and create an owner for the TPM. As part of the initialization process, you are asked to create a TPM owner password. To use your computer’s TPM, you must create a TPM owner password. The TPM owner password helps ensure that only you have access to the administrative functions of the TPM. Saving the TPM owner password allows you to easily manage access to the TPM.

The TPM Initialization Wizard allows you to print your TPM owner password or save it to a file on a USB flash drive. A saved file contains authorization information for the TPM owner that is derived from the TPM owner password. The file also contains the computer name, operating system version, creation user, and creation date information to assist you in recognizing the file. In an enterprise, administrators can configure Group Policy to automatically save this TPM owner information to Active Directory Domain Services.

Each TPM has a unique cryptographic “endorsement key” that it uses to indicate its authenticity. The endorsement key may be created and stored in the TPM by your computer’s manufacturer, or Windows may need to trigger creation of the endorsement key inside the TPM. The endorsement key is never fully exposed outside of the TPM, and once it has been created, it cannot be reset.

Once the TPM is initialized, programs can use the TPM to create and help secure additional unique cryptographic keys. For example, BitLocker Drive Encryption uses the TPM to help protect the key that encrypts the hard drive.

Use of information
If you choose to save the TPM owner password to a file, the additional computer and user information saved inside this file helps you to identify the matching computer and TPM. The TPM endorsement key is used by Windows only during TPM initialization to encrypt your TPM owner password before sending it to the TPM. Windows does not transmit cryptographic keys outside of your computer.

Choice and control
Once your computer’s TPM is initialized, TPM Services enables an administrator to prevent access to selected TPM functionality through a command management feature. By default, Windows blocks TPM commands that might reveal personal information, as well as TPM commands that have been deprecated or deleted from previous versions of the hardware. This block list may be modified by an administrator.

You can choose to turn off the TPM at any time. Turning off the TPM prevents software on your computer from using the cryptographic capabilities of the TPM. You can also choose to clear the TPM and reset it to factory defaults. Clearing the TPM removes owner information and, with the exception of the endorsement key, all TPM-based keys or cryptographic data that programs may have created when the TPM was in use.

User interface
Windows 7 retains the Windows Aero user interface and visual style first introduced with Windows Vista, but many areas have seen enhancements.

Aero’s performance has also been improved significantly, allowing it to run on lower specification hardware next to Windows Vista, with even older Intel GMA chips (which were precluded in Vista) able to display Aero’s 3D Desktop.

[edit] Desktop

Windows 7’s Desktop SlideshowDesktop Slideshow
Windows Explorer now includes a desktop slideshow that changes the desktop background in a designated amount of time. This feature was influenced by a similar feature in KDE desktops. [1]

[edit] Windows Explorer
Libraries
Windows Explorer in Windows 7 presents Libraries for different file types (documents, music, pictures, videos etc). Libraries are virtual folders that aggregate content from various locations – including shared folders on networked systems – and present them in a unified view. Libraries are accessible from the Start menu, Windows Explorer as well as the Open File and Save File dialogs. Searching in a library automatically federates the query to the remote systems, in addition to searching on the local system, so that files on the remote systems are also scoped by the search. Unlike search folders in Windows Vista, Libraries are backed by a physical location which allows files to be saved in the Libraries. Such files are transparently saved in the backing physical folder.

Federated search
Windows Explorer also supports federating search to external data sources, such as custom databases or web services, that are exposed over the web and described via an OpenSearch definition. The federated location description (called a Search Connector) is provided as a .osdx file. Once installed, the data source becomes queryable directly from Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer features, such as previews and thumbnails, work with the results of a federated search as well.

[edit] Taskbar
The Windows Taskbar has seen its most significant revision since its introduction in Windows 95. The taskbar is 10 pixels taller than in Windows Vista to accommodate a new larger default icon size, though a smaller taskbar size is available. Running applications are denoted by a border frame around the icon, while applications can be pinned to the taskbar, so that shortcuts to them appear when they are not running. Within this border, a color effect (dependent on the predominant RGB value of the icon) that follows the mouse also indicates the opened status of the application. The taskbar is also transparent. This new taskbar can be customized though to look like previous versions or to “intermediate” version including window titles.

Start button and menu
The start orb introduced in Windows Vista exists entirely inside the taskbar, and has a fade-in highlight effect when the user moves their mouse over it. The start menu itself is largely unchanged from Windows Vista, but does contain new options to provide direct access to Windows Explorer’s Libraries, as well as to the new “Devices and Printers” page in the Control Panel. The classic single-column Start menu is no longer available.[2]

Windows 7’s taskbar shows the user a preview of the window before they click it.

The Quick Launch toolbar is not enabled by default. The Windows 7 taskbar is more application-oriented than window-oriented, and therefore doesn’t show window titles (these are instead shown when an icon is clicked if there are multiple windows, or hovered over). Applications can now be pinned to the taskbar allowing the user instant access to the applications they commonly use. There are a few ways to pin applications to the taskbar. One can drag and drop the icon onto the taskbar. The other way to do so is by right-clicking the application’s icon and pinning the icon to the taskbar.
Preview pane
The preview pane which was introduced in Windows Vista has been expanded to not only preview the windows opened by the application in a small-sized thumbnail view, but to also interact with the preview pane. The user can close any windows opened by clicking the X on the corresponding preview pane. The name of the window is also shown in the preview pane. Another new feature added is the ability to get a “peek” of the window by hovering over the preview pane. Peeking brings up only the window which the mouse hovers within the preview panes and turns any other windows on the desktop into glass. This also works for tabs in Internet Explorer; individual tabs may be peeked at in the preview pane. In addition to these features, the preview pane has decreased the amount of times a user has to click to get to basic features by integrating them into the preview pane themselves. For example, if Windows Media Player is opened and the mouse is hovering on the application icon, the preview pane will allow the user the ability to Play, Stop, and Play Next/Previous track without having to actually open Windows Media Player.
Jump list
These are menu options available from right-clicking any of the icons on the taskbar. Each application will have unique jump lists which will correspond to the features unique to the application whether it be recent files opened or common tasks. For example, a Microsoft Word jump list might display all the recent documents opened. The Windows Media Player jump list, for example, displays recently played tracks and playlists that have been played. Internet Explorer’s jump bar displays recent history of websites. Windows Live Messenger’s jump list displays select common tasks such as instant messaging, signing off, and changing online status.
Notification area
The notification area has been redesigned; the standard Volume, Network, Battery and Security Center status icons (now renamed “Action”) are still present, but no other application icons are shown unless the user has chosen for them to be shown. A new “Notification Area Icons” control panel has been added which replaces the “Customize Notification Icons” dialog box in the “Taskbar and Start Menu Properties” window first introduced in Windows XP. In addition to being able to configure whether the application icons are shown, the ability to hide each application’s notification balloons has been added. The user can then view the notifications at a later time.
A triangle to the left of the visible notification icons displays the hidden notification icons to the user. Unlike Windows Vista and Windows XP, the hidden icons are displayed in a window above the taskbar, instead of on the taskbar. Icons can be dragged between this window and the notification area.
Aero Peek
In past versions of Windows, the taskbar ended with the notification area on the right side. However, there is now the Aero Peek button, which, when clicked or hovered over with the mouse, displays the desktop and gadgets by turning all windows into glass. This replaces the Show desktop shortcut in the Quick Launch bar in previous versions of Windows. Aero Peek exhibits the same features used by the preview pane, except it applies them to the desktop. If the mouse hovers over it, all windows are transparent, as shown in the picture. If the button is clicked, all applications are minimized, and when clicked again, they are restored.

[edit] Window management mouse gestures
Window maximizing and tiling
Windows can be dragged to the top of the screen to maximize them and dragged away to restore them. Dragging a window to the left or right of the screen makes it take up half the screen allowing one to tile two windows next to each other. Also resizing the window to the bottom of the screen or top will extend the window full but retain your width of the window.[3]

Aero Shake
Aero Shake allows users to clear up any clutter on their screen by shaking a window of their choice with the mouse. All other windows will minimize, while the window the user shook stays active on the screen.[4] When the window is shaken again, they are all restored, similar to desktop preview.

[edit] Keyboard shortcuts
A variety of new keyboard shortcuts have been introduced.[5]

Win+P shows an “external display options” selector that gives the user the choice of showing the desktop on only the computer’s screen, only the external display, on both at the same time (mirroring), or on both displays with independent desktops (extending).
Win+Space operates as a keyboard shortcut for Aero Peek.
Win+Up and Win+Down are new shortcuts for Maximize and Restore/Minimize.
Win+Left and Win+Right snap the current window to the left or right half of the current display.
Win+Shift+Left and Win+Shift+Right move the current window to the left or right display.
Win+T provides keyboard focus to the taskbar, then cycles the keyboard focus through taskbar items. Win+1 through Win+5 provide immediate shortcuts to the first five taskbar items.
Win+G displays all the Gadgets above other windows.
Win+ + and Win+ – zoom the desktop in and out.

[edit] Font management
The user interface for font management has been overhauled.[6] As with Windows Vista, the collection of installed fonts is shown in a Windows Explorer window, but fonts from the same font family appear as “stacks” instead of as individual icons. A user can then double-click on the font stack and see the individual font. A preview of the font is displayed as part of the icon as well. New options for hiding installed fonts are included; a hidden font remains installed, but is not enumerated when an application asks for a list of available fonts. Windows Vista had received considerable criticism for including the same “Add Font” dialog that had existed as far back as Windows 3.1; this dialog has been removed.

[edit] Methods of input
Hilton Locke, who worked on the Tablet PC team at Microsoft, reported on December 11, 2007 that Windows 7 will have new touch features. An overview of the multi-touch capabilities, including a virtual piano program, a mapping and directions program and a touch-aware version of Paint, was demonstrated at the All Things Digital Conference on May 27, 2008. A video demonstrating the multi-touch capabilities was later made available on the web on the same day.[7]

Also, Bill Gates has said that Windows 7 is also “a big step forward” for speech technology and handwriting recognition.[8]

[edit] Core operating system
Windows 7 was a major topic of technical sessions at WinHEC 2008 which was held on 4-6 November 2008 in Los Angeles[9] The following improvements and additions to Windows 7 (and Server 2008 R2) core operating system components were discussed:

WDDM 1.1,
Desktop Window Manager uses Direct3D 10.1 runtime, reduces its memory requirements by 50% when using 2D acceleration in WDDM v1.1 drivers[10]
Direct2D and DirectWrite, new hardware-accelerated vector graphics APIs built on top of Direct3D 10 that are intended to replace GDI and GDI+ for native-code graphics and text drawing.
Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform (WARP), a software rasterizer component for DirectX that provides all of the capabilities of Direct3D 10.0 and 10.1 in software.[11]
NDIS 6.20
DirectX 11
DirectX Video Acceleration-High Definition (DXVA-HD)
AVCHD camera support and Universal Video Class 1.1
Protected Broadcast Driver Architecture (PBDA) for TV tuner cards
Bluetooth audio stack
Support for up to 256 logical processors[12]
Windows 7 will also contain a new FireWire (IEEE 1394) stack that fully supports IEEE 1394b with S800, S1600 and S3200 data rates.[13] It will not, however, ship with USB 3.0 support due to delays in the specification being finalized.[14]

In order to take advantages of the capabilities and unique performance characteristics of solid-state drives, Windows 7 will turn off Windows Disk Defragmenter,[15] and will make use of a new SSD TRIM command to more aggressively erase deleted data so that it won’t need to be done later when new data is written to the same block. Windows 7 will also format a partition on an SSD differently from a mechanical hard disk drive. Microsoft explained in a WinHEC 2008 presentation that in prior releases of Microsoft Windows, the alignment of the start of a partition would place it in the middle of a single page on an SSD drive, which can reduce performance by 50%.

[edit] Virtual hard disks
Windows 7 incorporates support for Microsoft Virtual PC’s Virtual Hard Disk file format. VHD files can be mounted as drives, created, and booted from.[16]

[edit] Boot performance
According to data gathered from the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program, 35% of Vista SP1 installations boot up in 30 seconds or less.[17] The more lengthy boot times on the remainder of the machines are mainly due to some services or programs that are loaded but are not required when the system is first started. Microsoft’s Michael Fortin, a Distinguished Engineer on the Windows team, noted in August 2008 that Microsoft has set aside a team to work solely on the issue, and that team aims to “significantly increase the number of systems that experience very good boot times.” They “focused very hard on increasing parallelism of driver initialization.” Also, it aims to “dramatically reduce” the number of system services, along with their processor, storage, and memory demands.

[edit] Multimedia features

[edit] Windows Media Center
Main article: Windows Media Center

Windows Media Center in Windows 7Windows Media Center in Windows 7 has retained much of the design and feel of its predecessor, but with a variety of user interface shortcuts and browsing capabilities.[18] Playback of H.264 video both locally and through a Media Center Extender (including the Xbox 360) is supported.

When browsing the media library, items that don’t have “album art” are shown in a range of foreground and background color combinations instead of using white text on a blue background. When the left or right remote control buttons are held down to browse the library quickly, a two-letter prefix of the current album name is prominently shown as a visual aid. The Picture Library includes new slideshow capabilities, and individual pictures can be rated.

For television support, the Windows Media Center “TV Pack” released by Microsoft in 2008 is incorporated into Windows Media Center. This includes support for CableCARD and clear QAM tuners, as well as creating lists of favorite stations.[19]

A Windows Media Center gadget is included as well.

[edit] Format support
In addition to media support in Vista, Windows 7 will add playback of media in MP4, MOV, 3GP, AVCHD, ADTS, M4A, and WTV multimedia containers, with native codecs for H.264, MPEG4-SP, ASP/DivX/Xvid, MJPEG, DV, AAC-LC, LPCM, AAC-HE.[20]

Transcoding is integrated in the Windows Shell — the necessary conversion will happen automatically when a media file is dragged and dropped on the device icon.[citation needed] A new inbox video encoder will support encoding to H.264 1-pass CBR Baseline profile up to 1.5 Mbit/s, 640x480pixels at 30 frame/s. Audio encoder will support Low complexity AAC stereo at 44.1 or 48 kHz sample rate and 96, 128, 160 or 192 kbit/s bit rate.

[edit] New color depths/gamuts
At WinHEC 2008 Microsoft announced that color depths of 30-bit and 48-bit would be supported in Windows 7 along with the wide color gamut scRGB (which for HDMI 1.3 can be converted and output as xvYCC). The video modes supported in Windows 7 are 16-bit sRGB, 24-bit sRGB, 30-bit sRGB, 30-bit with extended color gamut sRGB, and 48-bit scRGB.[21][22]

[edit] Security and DRM
The Windows Security Center has been renamed the Windows Action Center (Windows Health Center and Windows Solution Center in earlier builds) which encompasses both security and maintenance of the computer.

A new User Account Control user interface has been introduced, which provides the ability to select four different levels of notifications.[23] Geo-tracking will also be available in Windows 7. The feature will be disabled by default. When enabled the user will only have limited control as to which applications can track their location.[24]

In Windows Vista, the Protected User-Mode Audio (PUMA) content protection facilities are only available to applications that are running in a Protected Media Path environment. Because only the Media Foundation application programming interface could interact with this environment, a media player application had to be designed to use Media Foundation. In Windows 7, this restriction is lifted.[25] PUMA also incorporates stricter enforcement of “Copy Never” bits when using Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) copy protection over a S/PDIF connection, as well as with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) over HDMI connections.

[edit] Biometrics
Windows 7 includes the new Windows Biometric Framework.[26] This framework consists of a set of components that standardizes the use of fingerprint biometric devices. In prior releases of Microsoft Windows, biometric hardware device manufacturers are required to provide a complete stack of software to support their device, including device drivers, software development kits, and support applications. Microsoft noted in a whitepaper on the Windows Biometric Framework that the proliferation of these proprietary stacks resulted in incompatibility issues, compromised the quality and reliability of the system, and made servicing and maintenance more difficult. By incorporating the core biometric functionality into the operating system, Microsoft aims to bring biometric device support on par with other classes of devices.

A new Control Panel called Biometric Device Control Panel is included which provides an interface for deleting stored biometrics information, troubleshooting, and enabling or disabling the types of logins that are allowed using biometrics. Biometrics configuration can also be configured using Group Policy settings.

[edit] Management features

Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE)According to a Computerworld article, new Windows 7 management features include[27]:

DirectAccess, a VPN tunnel technology based on IPv6 and IPsec
BranchCache, a branch-office cache system for files stored on central file servers
BitLocker to Go, which brings BitLocker encryption support to removable disks such as USB drives
AppLocker, a set of Group Policy settings to restrict which applications can run on a corporate network, including the ability to restrict based on the application’s version number
Support for Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC)
According to Jeffrey Snover, Windows Management Partner Architect, Windows 7 will also contain new technologies and features based on Windows PowerShell 2.0:[28]

Windows Troubleshooting Platform
Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment
PowerShell Remoting

[edit] Other features

WordPad in Windows 7
Device Stage showcasing some of the features available for a cellphoneWindows 7 adds support for systems using multiple heterogeneous graphics cards from different vendors,[29] Gadgets being integrated into Windows Explorer, the XPS Essentials Pack being integrated, and a redesigned Calculator with multiline capabilities including Programmer and Statistics modes along with unit conversion.

Many new items have been added to Control Panel including: ClearType Text Tuner, Display Color Calibration Wizard, Gadgets, Infrared, Recovery, Troubleshooting, Workspaces Center, Location and Other Sensors, Credential Manager, Biometric Devices, System Icons, Windows Action Center, and Display.[30]

Resource Monitor includes numerous new features, including an improved RAM usage display, display of TCP/IP ports being listened to, filtering processes using networking, filtering processes with disk activity, and listing and searching process handles (e.g. files used by a process) and loaded modules (files required by an executable file, e.g. DLL files).

For developers, Windows 7 includes a new networking API with support for building SOAP based web services in native code (as opposed to .NET based WCF web services)[31], new features to shorten application install times, reduced UAC prompts, simplified development of installation packages,[32] and improved globalization support through a new Extended Linguistic Services API.[33] A tool to burn ISO images to discs is included for the first time.[34]

At PDC 2008, Microsoft announced Instant On, a feature that will reduce the startup time to 15 seconds. This feature did not appear in the Windows 7 Beta, but startup times decreased from a minute for some users to 25 seconds.[citation needed]

In addition, a new font, “Gabriola”, is included.[35] There is also Office Open XML and ODF support in WordPad.[36]

Microsoft is introducing a new feature called Device Stage which allows hardware developers to put all device information into a single window based off XML. Device Stage will allow users to manage their devices.[37] It will display various information on devices such as battery charge, available storage space, the time and date of a last sync, links to online manuals, and other features unique to the device that is connected.

When a user right-clicks a disc image file, such as an ISO file, the user can click “Burn disc image” and the file will be copied to the disc of the user’s choice. Support for image verification is included in the feature. In previous versions of Microsoft Windows, users had to install third-party software to perform disc image burning[38].

If an application crashes twice, Windows 7 will automatically apply a fix. If an application fails to install a similar self correcting fix, a tool that asks some questions about the application launches.[39]

Windows 7 includes TIFF IFilter optional component which enables indexing of TIFF documents by performing OCR (optical character recognition). It is possible to search through the scanned text in TIFF format. Is is made optional because of it performance impact but it can be easily turned on in optional component control panel.

……….

يالله هذا الحين المفروض بكل هذا الكلام يكون ويندوز 7 جديد ..

يالله أيها البابا المُقدس .. قدس لنا النظام و زكيه .. و وزع علينا صكوك .. نبه جديد .. جبنا لك القرابين يا بمو ميزات ..

قال أيش قال جيب لي 300 ميزة قال ..

بعد البيتا راح أجيب لك 3000 آلاف مو 300 .. يا شاطر ..

تحياتي

أيها القارئ ..

بعد المهزلة التي أخذ البعض برسمها ظنا منهم أنهم أذكياء و مُثقفين ..

مُعتقدين بان تمييز إصدارة عن أخرى هي ما يُميز النظام الجديد من التكرار ..

مُتناسين أو جاهلين بقضية أن وظيفة النظام عندما تكون كما هي و لا تتغير و أُضيفت عليه مليون ميزة .. سيكون مُجرد ترقية لما سبق و ليس نظاما جديدا ..

لو أتينا إلى مثال :

نظام ويندوز 95 و نظام ويندوز 98 .. مالجديد في هذين النظامين ؟؟

هل ويندوز 98 يُعتبر نظام جديد ؟؟

لا و لهذا كان رخيصا و يُوزع مجانا مع اللاب توبات و الأجهزة المكتبية الجديدة .. لأانه مُجرد تحسين لأداء 95 ..

ملينيوم أيها القارئ .. لا يُسمى نظاما أصلا لكي نقوم بمُقارنته .. و لهذا سنشطبه من القائمة فهو لا يستحق الذكر حتى لكون أكبر مسخرة حدثت في عالم الأنظمة ..

ويندوز إكس بي .. هذا النظام يُسمى قفزة نوعية .. بسبب انتقال نظام ويندوز إلى مرحلة جديدة .. و هي دعم جيل جديد من الملفات و الإنتقال إلى مرحلة من مراحل التشارك عن طريق الشبكات .. و أيضا كان مُختلفا حتى من ناحية التحكم بالنظام .. و كان مُختلفا في توجهه .. فمن نظام عادي لتأدية وظائف عادية .. إلى نظام كان في زمنه نظام لا بأس به .. و يُعتبر جيدا في أداء وظائف كثيرة بالإضافة إلى إضافات خارجية عن طريق برامج تابعة للشركة .. و لكن ما هو إكس بي في هذا الزمن ؟؟

إكس بي أيها القارئ الكريم .. لا يقف جنبا إلى جنب امام فيستا .. فبعد الانظمة العادية ، نظاك فيستا يُعد النظام الذكي الوحيد في السوق .. لكونه نظاما يقوم بأعماله و شؤنه بدون تدخل من المُستخدم .. كيف ؟؟ المسألة تحتاج إلى إعدادت فقط ..
هذا النظام اتجه أكثر إلى مسألة التشارك .. و مسالة التحكم أكثر بالنظام .. و لقد كان مُختلفا من ناحية الوظيفة .. و لهذا يُسمى نظاما جديدا كليا .. ليس من أجل الميزات و ليس من اجل الشكل الخارجي .. فاللمسات الجمالية مُجرد إضافة و لا تجعل النظام جديدا ..

ويندوز 7 .. هذا النظام سيُقلد و أنا أعرف هذا .. و من سيقول بانه تقليد على سنو ليوبارد الذي سنسمع صوت موائه قريبا .. فسيكون أغبى إنسان على وجه الأرض .. لأن ميزات ويندوز 7 هي ميزات لونق هورن الذي توقف ..
هذا النظام سيكون طفرة .. من ناحية التعامل مع الاجهزة المُحيطة و من ناحية تغيير مفهوم الأنظمة من الجمود إلى التفاعل مع من حولها و مع ما حولها .. بل سيكون الأفضل على الإطلاق و بصدوره .. الجانب الآخر من التفاحة سيُأكل ..
تحكم أكثر ، حياة مُنفتحة أكثر .. أداء وظائف أسهل .. عدم التكلف و العناء للقيام بوظائف كثيرة .. الجهاز سيتكفل بها بنفسه ..

ويندوز 7 هو جيل جديد من الأنظمة وليس نظاما عاديا .. و لو تم إنزاله بعد إكس بي .. لما عاد للتفاحة المأكولة وجود ..

تحياتي

كالعادة نقاش عقيم يفتقر الى الموضوعية وبهدف افراض دكتاتورية الراي الشخصي

لا وما بيحبوا النسخ واللصق ما ادري تبون يخنرع ميزات جديدة او انستوا النسخ واللصق في موضوع البنتاغون والكل كان صفق بس بدون ما يدري المصدر او لزما على مايكروسفت تعديد الميزات على موقع ليصدقها الناس كما يفعل الاخرون اوحين تفعل الن تكون مقلده؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟!!!!!!!!!! عجبا

لونق هورن كان نظام مبني على نواه اكس بهدف طرحة اوخر عام 2003 الى2004 وقد الغي ثم بدا بنظام فيستا على نواه سيرفر 2003 بنفس اسم لونق هورن ثم تحول الاسم لفيستا ليس الا وللمصداقية مراجعة الويكبيديا بdevelopment of windows vista
ويفترض بويندوز 7 تقديم ميزات لونق هورن المتنازل عنها في فيستا

لكل الحق في مايريده وما يؤمن به ولا يحق له تعميم ما يعتقده هو او غيره على الاخرين
تنتهي حريتك بتعدي حريات الاخرين

اخ علي خل عنك المجادلات فسوف لن تخرج بنتيجة من ذلك مؤكدا مهما قلت فلن يفيد ذلك شيء

اخ احمد جبر يا ريت تقفل التعليقات لان ما عندك ناس تعلق عندك ناس تشاجر فقط لا غير

…….

ستعلمك الأيام ما كنت جاهلا >>>>> ويأتيك بالأخبار من لم تزود …

ما خطبك ياعلي مع العرب ، اتستعر منهم يا هذا .. فكل الغرب وعلماءهم لا يأتون عند ظفر عالم العرب ( معلمنا وسيدنا محمد رسول الله صلى الله عليه ) .
