    Notes on slide 1

    The Windows® 7 Taskbar include some features that you might want to consider using in your next Application: Overlay Icons Jump Lists Thumbnail Toolbars Custom Thumbnail Tabbed ThumbnailThe key takeout from this short discussion — even if you don’t want to use the advanced features — make sure you have a great taskbar icon (at all kinds of DPI levels) and forget about Quick Launch and the system notification area (“tray”) because no one is going to look there for your App. Use taskbar buttons and the wealth of UI paradigms such as thumbnail Toolbars, Jump Lists etc. instead.

      Windows 3.0's user interface was finally a serious competitor to the user interface of the Macintosh computer
      A "multimedia" version, Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions 1.0, was released several months later.

    17. Windows 7 at a glance
      Windows 7 can be seen as a incremental update to Windows Vista. It has a simpler user interface and enhancements to performance, but uses the same technologies already in place with Vista
      What was Code Name of Windows 7?
      Vienna
      Why named as “Windows 7” ?
      ? ? ?
    18. Windows 7 at a glance
      Why named as “Windows 7” ?
      How they count number “7”. This is quite simple. It comes from code version.
      Windows 1.0 [first Release] -> 2.0 -> 3.0
      Windows 3.0 was Windows NT which was code versioned as Windows 3.1
      Then come Windows 9x[ 95,98, 98 SE, ME], which was code versioned as Windows 4.0. So we're counting all 9x versions as being 4.0
      Windows 2000 code was 5.0 and then we shipped Windows XP as 5.1, even though it was a major release. we didn't' want to change code version numbers to maximize application compatibility
      That brings us to Windows Vista, which is 6.0
      So we see windows 7 as 7th in the family of Windows releases
    19. What’s New ?
      Program Thumbnails: If a program is open, then hovering over that program’s icon in the taskbar will bring up a thumbnail view of any open windows.
      HomeGroups: Windows 7 takes a new approach to home networking with the advent of HomeGroups. Sharing files with other Windows 7 PC’s is easy, and is secured with 128bit encryption and a randomly generated password.
      XP Mode: Windows 7 Ultimate has a freely downloadable add-on that lets users run an instance of Windows XP within a window on their Windows 7 desktop. To use this feature, the PC’s processor must support virtualization.
