Windows 7 is the latest public release version of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops; netbooks, tablet PCs, and media center PCs.
The current client version of Windows and successor to Windows Vista. Introduced in October 2009, Windows 7 was designed to be more “user friendly”. For example, multi-touch capability is included, which is similar to Microsoft's Surface computer and Apple's iPhone. However, Windows 7-compatible touch screens are required to take advantage of this feature.
Enhancements to the User Interface
Windows 7 changes the Vista user interface; most notably, a new taskbar, called the "Superbar," is similar to the Dock in the Mac. The Superbar is used to show open applications as well as launch new ones, and icons can be rearranged by the user, whereas they were fixed in previous versions.
