In this article, I discussed about some best features of Windows 7 operating system. Microsoft introduced many features in Windows 7 operating system, among them, few are discussed with their usage information.

In Windows 7 operating system, you can grab the top of the window and shake it about to scare away all of the other open windows. In older versions of Windows, ever you have ten notepad's, four power-point presentation's and few more windows open? This type of feature can be seen in Windows 7 operating system.

Jumplists

Jumplists is a new feature that give you the option to view a list of recently accessed files by application, even when the application isn't open by right-clicking on the application's icon in the taskbar. It also allows user to quickly access a favourite playlist without opening your media player. Jumplists can also be found integrated into the Start Menu.

Preview Plus

A smaller preview, along with a full-size 'peek' with the ability to close the window is the special feature of preview plus which can be found in Windows 7 operating system.

Problem steps recorder

The 'Problem steps recorder' lets you record a particular problem you are having with your PC so you can send it to someone who may be able to help. Click 'Record', a screenshot is taken with every mouse click, allowing comments to be added in between if required.

XP Mode

For those XP applications that do not work under Windows 7, you can download "XP Mode" free from the Microsoft website and run XP applications in an emulated XP environment in Windows 7.

Device and printers

With the new 'Device and printers' button on the start menu, devices which are connected to your computer can have their own Stage. This Device Stage presents supported devices with a photo-realistic render and a link to the vendor's website, along with other updates and useful information.

Click the arrow that gives access to the overflow icons in the notification area and click 'customise'. Select each icon and click 'hide icon and notifications' to remove it. This is one of the best feature in Windows 7.

Drag your window to the left or right edge of the desktop to snap and resize the window to one half of the screen. Drag the window to the top to maximise it.

These are the some best features which were introduced in Windows 7 operating system.
