Where previous OS betas I've tried have tended to be a nightmarish mess of unstable system errors, Microsoft has amazingly managed to deliver a relatively solid beta with Windows 7.The team of Bluestacks Android emulator has just launched the latest version of the new software variant: BlueStacks 5 (Beta). The capacity bar showing remaining storage space is also available on other drives too, not just hard disks which is very handy. Grammatical simplification aside, it now has an incredibly handy option to hide all empty drives, so card readers, my USB sticks and other empty storage devices needn't clutter up the screen with a vast list of empty devices, appearing only if storage media is inserted. the 'My Computer' icon has lost a syllable to become simply 'Computer'. Other features, whilst less noticeable are also incredibly nifty. System tray icons can be configured to always be on show or to only be visible when notifying you of relevant system events. Last but by no means least, system tray clutter has been reduced from a festering pile of useless icons under previous versions of Windows to a fully-clickable and customisable panel. wallpaper, screensavers and sounds etc.) in one tidy place. Themes and the ability to tweak the Aero's glassy tint are all available via the customisation menu which also puts everything (e.g. The addition of a wallpaper slide-show (which changes wallpapers at preset time intervals) is likely to render a slew of third party apps redundant. The Aero interface is now a lot more tweakable via the customisation menu. Gadgets are now completely standalone, and can be placed anywhere on the desktop.

Vista's Windows Sidebar gadgets are present and accounted for, but are no longer bolted onto a sidebar ghetto at the side of the screen. Drag a window to the right or left of the screen, and it'll maximise to take up that half of the screen (which is incredibly handy for comparing documents or dragging files between windows). Drag it back down and it'll return to its previous size. Shaking an open window with your mouse minimises all other open windows, allowing you to quickly de-clutter and focus on the window you're currently working on.Дrag a window to the top of the screen, it'll automatically maximise. Unfortunately jump lists are only available with Window 7's built-in apps, but third party support is expected to happen pretty quickly.Д®qually appealing is the addition of Aero Snap desktop gestures which makes wrangling windows far more efficient. Right clicking a taskbar or start button icon brings up a Jump List, which is essentially a quick menu that is unique to every application, containing a bunch of useful options such as a 'recently opened' list, or special functions such as quick access to browser bookmarks in IE8. Called Aero Peek, this feature alone proved to be an incredibly useful means of sifting through the multiple apps I usually have running on my laptop's cramped 14-inch screen. Move your mouse off the thumbnail and the windows will return to their previous state. Hover your mouse over any of the thumbnails and its corresponding window is bought to forefront, whilst other windows become transparent. Clicking it pops up a menu with real time thumbnails that can be closed or activated.

Clicking its icons launches programs (which can be customised) whilst the icons of running programs are also displayed.ДЄ running application with several minimised instances or windows will appear on the taskbar as a single icon.

Functionally it resembles the lovechild of Mac OS's X's Dock, and Vista's quicklanch bar, but is way more versatile. Add to this, a pile of really nifty interface tweaks, and things not only feel a lot more grown up, but also become significantly more useable.ДЄnother biggie is Window 7's new Taskbar. Much of Vista's cartoony interface elements have been replaced with more sophisticated, functional but less-cluttered versions.

Interface-wise, Windows 7 looks a lot like Vista after liposuction and cosmetic surgery. Interface and security sanity prevails at last. If you make any changes UAC leaves you alone, however when an application makes a change, you'll be prompted. Under Windows 7, UAC is set to 'notify me when programs try to make changes to my computer'.
