Microsoft Brings 36 New Features To Windows 7

Barence writes "Microsoft has unveiled a slew of new features that will appear in the Release Candidate of Windows 7 that didn't make an appearance in the beta. 'We've been quite busy for the past two months or so working through all the feedback we've received on Windows 7,' explains Steven Sinofsky, lead engineer for Windows 7 in his blog. A majority of these features are user interface tweaks, but they should add up to a much smoother Windows 7 experience." In separate news, Technologizer reports on Microsoft's contingency plan, should things not go well in EU antitrust, to slip Win7 to January.

    A lot of slashdotters are complaining (surprise) but they probably never tried the Windows 7 beta, either. These aren't 'new features', they're what's improving in the RC over the beta. I've been running the beta on my laptop and I'm rather happy about most of these changes.

    who is STUPID enough to mod something that is valid for EVERY product & service since the dawn of trade on this planet ?

    keep your fanboyism locked up your butt. use your logic and reason while spending mod points.

    Funny, except for the "features" that are bug fixes, none of them are what I asked for.

    Why the hell are you asking for anything? You've made it abundantly clear you aren't even a customer to being with. You're just one little Linux troll bitching on Slashdot. Anybody with a business knows that one customer. That one asshole who just isn't happy with anything. Period.

    No company should deal with people like you, because in a strictly financial sense, you aren't worth it.
