“If you loved Vista in Aero Glass mode, then you’ll love Windows
7 even more. Windows 7 addresses many of the shortcomings in Vista,
including management for those annoying popup notification
messages, gadgets which are no longer locked in the sidebar (they
can now be moved anywhere on the desktop), several UI enhancements
which are not only attractive, but also require less mouse clicks
to carry out routine functions, HomeGroup networking which

connections (including printers and peripherials), the ability to
move app buttons on the start bar, and of course direct multi-touch
support for all of Microsoft’s Windows 7 apps.”
