The newest version of the Windows operating system provides greater security, reliability, and manageability for local and remote computers. Educators will find a wide range of innovations and enhancements to help them improve productivity.
Get more done
Faster startups, shutdowns, and resumes from standby help you spend less time waiting and more time being productive. With enhanced power-saving features, you can enjoy longer battery life on your mobile appliances. In addition, you can share documents, printers, and more across multiple computers running Windows 7 - regardless of whether your organization has a server.
Work your way
Windows 7 provides improved taskbar thumbnails that simplify your ability to open applications and to see what’s already open. You can even get a full-screen preview before switching to a specific window. With the new Jump Lists feature, you can easily keep track of files you’ve recently used, saving you from hunting for them. Windows 7 also makes it much simpler and more intuitive to open, close, resize, and arrange the windows on your desktop.
Explore new possibilities
Enhanced handwriting recognition in Windows 7 makes pen input faster and more accurate. You can create personalized custom dictionaries for handwriting recognition, write math expressions, and use additional languages, including newly supported ones. If you have a touch-screen monitor, Windows Touch lets you work directly on your computer screen, using your fingers to easily navigate, scroll, resize windows, and more.
