Windows® 7 is the next-generation operating system from Microsoft. Windows 7 wasn’t based on our idea of what should go into a great operating system. It’s based on YOURS. We learned that people liked certain features in earlier versions of Windows, and didn’t like others. We’ve been listening to what you have to say, so in designing Windows 7, we focused on enhancing what you told us you liked. And we made improvements to what you didn’t like. 
Windows 7 helps make the tasks consumers do today faster and easier, and so new things are possible. 
Works the Way You Want—Windows 7 works the way you want it to. You’ll see that the improved fundamentals make it faster and more responsive, so you wait less. Your PC is more reliable and secure, so you have fewer interruptions. And Windows 7 is compatible with the largest set of devices and applications available, so you can use the hardware and programs that best reflect your style, budget, and personal needs. 
Everyday Tasks are Easier and Faster—With Windows 7, doing the tasks you do all the time is easier and faster. With more intuitive navigation, Windows 7 is a great experience for all users. It’s easier to get to exactly where you want to be on your PC—it’s faster to launch your favorite programs, navigate through open windows, and find what you need on your desktop PC. And when you want to access anything on your home network, Windows 7 dramatically simplifies and streamlines the networking and sharing experience.
It’s easy to browse and search to access exactly what you need, whether it’s on your PC or another PC in your home. When you connect your supported devices to your Windows 7 PC, you are presented with an innovative new feature called Device Stage. Device Stage provides a premium immersive experience so that users can get more out of their devices.
New Things Possible—Windows 7 makes new PC experiences possible. For example, you now have new ways to use your PC with exciting enhancements like multitouch. With your touch-enabled PC, your finger actually becomes the mouse. You can tap on the screen to open documents or navigate Web sites. You can browse through your photos or use two fingers to expand or reduce them to the size you want. And you can make comments or take notes right on-screen or use your PC to turn your handwriting into text.
With Windows 7 technology, interacting with your PC could not seem more natural. And, of course, you still have your mouse and keyboard to do tasks that are easier with them too. Windows 7 also makes it easy to access your digital photos, music, and movies on PCs throughout the home. Not only can you enjoy them on the PC you’re using, you can also enjoy them easily with Windows Media® Player on connected devices on your home network, like your Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system.
