Windows 7 to reap praise from many in Beta and Release Candidate was released by Microsoft. Thursday, October 22, 2009, Microsoft will officially publish this latest operating system in the world, including in Indonesia.

Mention of Windows Vista in writing about Windows 7 be a strange thing. As is well known Vista was considered as Microsoft's operating system is 'less successful', then mention Vista as if to remind the lack of Vista.

But there was no denying it, Windows 7 is the successor to Windows Vista. And like Vista, 7 adopted Aero display. Of course, in Windows 7, Microsoft added a few things on the Aero.

On the surface, the display windows Aero is a 'glittering'. That is, the look of Windows is trying to replicate the look and shiny transparent glass.

But behind the 'glow' that, Aero includes behavior on windows operating system and also some functions around the user interface.

Aero Peek

If noted, the bottom right corner of Windows 7 will see a box that was almost hidden. Box 'glass' is Aero Peek.

To Aero Peek is a peek Desktop Windows without shrink (minimize) the application window that are overlapping. If the user directs the mouse pointer over the Aero Peek, the application window will change the Desktop transparent and would be visible.

Then, for what surface peek Desktop? In Windows 7 Microsoft remove the Sidebar, so that all the gadgets, if you want to use it-be installed on the surface of the Desktop. Well, Aero Peek is a quick way to peek at the gadget itself.

But do not try clicking on one of the gadget when peeked at the Aero Peek. Immediately when the mouse pointer moves out of the glass box, which was the application window will re-appear transparent.

(Note: To minimize all open applications and windows desktop surface, use the shortcut of Windows + D)

Aero Snap

If Aero Peek may not be much use, Aero Snap vice versa. detikINET assume this function is one of the most useful addition.

Its function is simple: drag (drag and drop) an application window to stick to the edge of the screen (left or right) and he will immediately change the size to fill half the screen. This is obviously useful when users need to open a two-screen applications at the same time: just drag each window to the left and right edge of the screen.

How to maximize the size of the window full screen? Simply drag the window to the edge of the screen and 'snap' of the application window will fill the screen.

(Note: shaking the application window can be used to 'drive' the application window other than being shaken. This feature is called Aero Shake)

Aero Thumbnails

Want to know what's going on in one application window without opening the window? Thumbnails Microsoft provides that will appear when the pointer is above the application icon in the Taskbar.

Display that appears in the 'small window' that will show the real condition of an application. For example, if in one of the windows were open web pages rather heavy users get a peek at what the page is fully open or not with this function.

If the mouse pointer is above the 'small window', then the application window in question would appear on the screen while the other window will become transparent.

Just like Aero Peek, if the pointer moves out of the area of the thumbnails will display back to the active window. In practice, this behavior can be annoying for users 'shocked' thought the application window is moved.

Themes

Themes-package that includes desktop display window color, image wallpapers, screensavers to sound-system was back. This time, users can share their Themes are created with ease.

One of the highlights of the Themes settings is the option to use some images as well as Wallpaper. Users can choose how long the images are rotated, ranging from 10 seconds to several hours.

The function named 'Slideshow Wallpaper' is useful for those who are often bored with the look of its desktop surface. Wallpaper changing effects even at fairly indulgent eye.

The many style 'glass' on Aero in Windows 7 was given the impression of its own. The impression will be more transparent to the user feels this operating system, as if each application window is a window made of glass (detik)
