Features new to Windows 7
There are many features new to Windows 7, including advancements in touch, speech, and handwriting recognition, support for virtual hard disks, support for additional file formats, improved performance on multi-core processors,[citation needed] improved boot performance, and kernel improvements. Windows 7 retains the Windows Aero user interface and visual style first introduced with Windows Vista, but many areas have seen enhancements. If looked at closely, the glass window borders in Windows 7 Build 6801 have a different blending style, making the colors behind them more saturated. This was removed in build 7000. Aero’s performance has also been improved significantly, allowing it to run on lower specification hardware next to Windows Vista, with even older Intel GMA chips (which were precluded in Vista) able to display Aero’s 3D Desktop. Windows Explorer now includes a desktop slideshow that changes the desktop background in a designated amount of time.
