Windows Se7en - The 1st Multi-Touch Operating System (Plus Transformation Pack)

The initiatives debuted by the Redmond giant and associated with the development of Windows 7 are pointing all in the same direction, the stringent need to steer away from the mistakes made with Windows Vista which resulted in inherent incompatibility issues.

As far as hardware is concerned, the Windows 7 apple looks set to indeed fall far from the Vista tree. The new program is focused on Original Design Manufacturer technical engagement revealing Microsoft’s efforts “to drive partners’ bugs to resolution. [And] to address the changing hardware ecosystem landscape,” according to the company. The new program will be built from scratch, signaling a break from the work that was poured into building Windows Vista.

The Microsoft PC Ecosystem & Planning organization’s OEM/ODM Readiness team is driving the effort geared to the company’s partners. The software giant is attempting to reach out to ODMs and get Windows 7 tested from the earliest stages, drive an influx of bug submissions, and deal with all the problems centralized following feedback.

The upcoming ODM “readiness” program is in fact a combination of technical engagement, testing and Microsoft Evangelism, and in this context the recipe that Vista lacked. The Redmond company knows that it is the sole to blame for the incompatibility problems and Vista’s incongruence with some items in the software and hardware product environment.

This is why, with Windows 7, Microsoft is stepping up its game of building intimate relationships with ODM partners. In the end, the move is designed to maximize “testing efforts for our beta phase client and server products,” a member of the OEM/ODM Readiness team stated. No telling if the server product reference is related to Windows Server 2008 R2, or to Windows 7 Server.

Windows 7 has reached the Milestone 1 (M1) stage and has been made available to key partners.[15] According to reports sent to TG Daily, the build adds support for systems using multiple heterogeneous graphics cards and a new version of Windows Media Center.[15] New features in Milestone 1 also reportedly include Gadgets being integrated into Windows Explorer, a Gadget for Windows Media Center, the ability to visually pin and unpin items from the Start Menu and Recycle Bin, improved media features, the XPS Essentials Pack being integrated, and a multiline Calculator featuring Programmer and Statistics modes along with unit conversion.

Reports indicate that a feedback tool included in Milestone 1 lists some coming features: the ability to store Internet Explorer settings on a Windows Live account, updated versions of Paint and WordPad, and a 10 minute install process.[29] In addition, improved network connection tools might be included.

Device center, display, recovery center, and windows sensors had been added to control panel.[30]

In build 6574, the Windows Security Center has been renamed the Windows Health Center, and focuses on monitoring the complete health status of the computer in a central location.

In the demonstration of Windows 7 at D6, the operating system featured multi-touch, including a virtual piano program, a mapping and directions program and a touch-aware version of Paint.

On May 21, 2008, Microsoft posted a job opening for Windows 7 regarding work to implement VHD support, i.e. support for single-file containers that represent an entire hard drive including partitions, and transparently performing I/O operations on this as a typical hard drive, including boot support.

“

In Windows 7, our team will be responsible for creating, mounting, performing I/O on, and dismounting VHDs (virtual hard disks) natively. Imagine being able to mount a VHD on any Windows machine, do some offline servicing and then boot from that same VHD. Or perhaps, taking an existing VHD you currently use within Virtual Server and boost performance by booting natively from it.

Microsoft is cooking a new testing program tailored to the future releases of Windows. The Redmond company confirmed Windows 7 as an evolution of Windows Vista, but this doesn’t seem to apply to the infrastructure that helped produce the current Windows client. In fact, not only for Windows 7, but “beyond” as Microsoft has put it indicating the need of continuation for Windows 8, the software company will work to perfect Windows releases.
