MS Details Changes Coming in Windows 7 RC1
« on: February 28, 2009, 05:35:42 PM »


The millions of people who have downloaded and are using Beta 1 of Windows 7 have been generating tons of feedback for Microsoft's developers--well over half a million reports. That's one Send Feedback report every 15 seconds for an entire week, notes Microsoft's Engineering Windows 7 blog. This morning, the site posted a listing of just a few of the planned changes we'll see in the Release Candidate build of Windows 7 based on that feedback.

Engineering 7 suggests we keep our eyes open for many changes. Here's a few I think are the most interesting (but read the post for quite a long list):

Aero Peek
One can still quickly flip between and cycle through running windows using the ALT+TAB keys, but when more window information is needed Aero Peek will appear. This is triggered by a time delay as you pause while keyboarding through running windows.

More after the jump.

Taskbar Scaling
We've made a change to squeeze in 24-39% more icons before the taskbar scrolls; depending upon your resolution, icon size and assuming the default notification area.

Multitouch Keyboard
RC ushers in multi-touch support for the Touch Keyboard so that customers enjoy a more realistic experience.

Y'all it is getting closer and closer,
