Windows 7 Release Candidate Gets 36 Changes

by Thorsten Finck on: 02/28/2009 10:00 PM | source: | 0 comment(s)

After looking through all the feedback Windows 7's public beta version received, Microsoft added 36 changes to its Release Candidate. While some of them are only of "cosmetic" nature, others are quite essential and increased performance and various compatibility fixes are only two of the many benefits you can expect to see. Apparently, Microsoft is being careful this time around though, and tries not to repeat mistakes it previously made with Vista. Therefore, don't expect any drastic changes or even a radical remodeling of Windows 7.

Summed up, changes have been made in the following areas:

  • Desktop Experience
  • Touch
  • Networking
  • Control Panel
  • Windows Media Player
  • Device Stage
  • Sound UX
  • Windows Explorer and Libraries
  • Performance

The main focus was on the desktop, as it accounts for 10 of the 36 changes. Also noteworthy is the increased audio reliability and the added .mov support, as we already reported earlier.
