Windows 7 – some screen shots
Posted by eileenb on November 5, 2008
So it’s time to talk about some of the features in Windows 7 after the bits were given out at the PDC last week.
I haven’t installed Windows 7 to try it out myself as I wasn’t over there in Los Angeles, so I had a look at Matt’s blog for some screenshots. And I like what I’ve seen. Especially the Libraries feature. What a great idea.
The ability to collate all sorts of different types of files in one place appeals to me – setting custom views too. Brilliant for someone who isn’t too organised with their own filing system on the PC (like me).
Direct Access – No more VPN – Woohoo! – I really hate going through our VPN to corpnet so this will be fantastic for me. All that’s needed is for the admin to enable it. Excellent
AppLocker – as an IT Admin I would have LOVED this! it would have made my life much more easy.
Matt has a much more comprehensive list over on his blog and you can read all about it on the Windows 7 site.
So I’m now really looking forward to the beta availability internally…
