There are some really cool UI features in Windows 7. Here is a summary of some impressive ones
Windows Taskbar
- Windows 7 has taken quick launch feature to the next step. You can now pin any program to the taskbar by right clicking and selecting "pin to taskbar". You can even arrange the pinned programs.
- Windows 7 lets you preview various opened windows without selecting them. Point to a taskbar icon to see a thumbnail preview of open files or programs. Then, move your mouse over a thumbnail to preview the window full-screen. You can even close windows from the thumbnail previews—a big time saver.

Snap
- Windows 7 makes it extremely simple to compare two windows. How many times had we struggled comparing two excels/documents/jpegs? This is extremely easy in Windows 7. Just drag one window to the left and Windows automatically sizes the window to the left half of the screen. Now drag the other one to the right side and release, the second window fills the right half of the screen. Its fun and easy :)
- Windows has introduced another way to maximize a window. You can drag a window to the top of your screen and Windows maximizes the window. If you dont know, you can also double click on the title bar and Windows will maximize or shrink the window size.
