PCs are an integral part of the daily lives of billions of people around the world. They are
used for more functions than anyone could have imagined just a few years ago, and as
PCs become more deeply woven into our everyday lives, our expectations keep increasing.
With Windows® 7, you told us what you expect from a PC. And we listened.
In Windows 7 we’ve developed hundreds of little improvements and a few big ones that
add up, frankly, to a whole lot less. Less waiting, less clicks, less hassle connecting to devices,
less power consumed and less overall complexity.
And with less of what you don’t need, your PC running Windows 7 will help you do more
by making everyday tasks simpler and easier. Windows 7 is clean and uncluttered, with
a streamlined interface that puts the tasks you want to accomplish right at your  nger-
tips. You have more control over where to put the things you use most often. Managing
multiple windows is easier. And we’ve improved search so that you can  nd the information
you want quickly.
We’ve made it easier to add PCs to your home network, share  les between networked
PCs, and use and manage other connected devices like cell phones, cameras, and MP3
players. Even browsing the Internet is easier thanks to improvements in Windows Internet
Explorer® 8.
You asked for improvements in the basic fundamentals like performance, responsiveness,
safety, reliability, and compatibility. We designed Windows 7 to start up, shut down, and
resume from sleep quickly so you don’t have to wait as long to get stuff done. We’ve
reduced the number of system prompts that can interrupt your day. And you’ll have greater
control over what your kids can do on the PC. Even better, you’ll  nd innovative ways to
safeguard your personal data—all while getting more ways to personalize your PC and
make it truly your own.
With Windows 7, we’ve also made new things possible. You’ll  nd fresh ways to enjoy and
share your music, photos, video, and recorded TV when and where you want regardless of
how or where it’s stored. Windows 7 gives you more ways to access your data and work
productively from any location including making it easier to connect to wireless networks.
And we’ve added new ways to interact with your PC through touch-enabled screens.
In the enterprise, the role of the PC is evolving just as quickly as it is in the home. With
Windows 7, IT professionals have more ways to help their people get more done—more
securely and from more locations—while still maintaining control over increasingly complex
computing environments.
Welcome to Windows 7.
