What is Windows 7?
Your PC, simplified.
Windows 7 is the easiest, fastest, and most engaging version of Windows yet. Better ways to find and manage files, like Jump Lists and improved taskbar previews, help you speed through everyday tasks. Faster and more reliable performance means your PC just works the way you want it to. And great features like HomeGroup and Windows Touch make new things possible. Get to know Windows 7, and see how it can simplify just about everything you do with your PC.

Why Choose Windows 7?
Simplifies everyday tasks
Windows 7 makes the basics easier than ever. With HomeGroup, it's simple to share music, documents, printers, and everything else with the other PCs running Windows 7 in your house. Better taskbar previews give you a great view of what's open, and Jump Lists show you recent files with a single right-click.

Works the way you want
It doesn't matter how many neat tricks your PC can do if it's not running as smoothly as you expect. So we designed Windows 7 to help your PC sleep and resume faster. The new Action Center puts control over system messages where it should be: with you. Windows 7 supports the latest advances in PC hardware, like 64-bit computing and multi-core processors, and improved memory utilization helps your hardware reach its full performance potential.

Makes new things possible
Once you've got that simpler, faster PC, some cool new features would be great. Here you go: You'll be able to connect to networks-home, work, coffee shop-with a couple of clicks, and with Windows Touch (and the right hardware), you'll soon be using your fingers to flip through files, work with pictures, and even "paint."
