There is some speculation that one of the features or primary components of Microsoft's Windows 7 will be Windows Sensors, which may be the next version of Plug and Play — a way for Windows to automatically “sense” what kinds of peripherals or devices can/should be automatically connected and synced with the operating system. Windows Sensors might also be the main key to home-automation systems, and Windows 7 might be the control hub for users’ home devices, such as home appliances, alarm systems, security systems, and other "sensors".
While a lot of questions still remain about what Microsoft intends to do with their new Windows 7 operating system, much speculation and mystery still surrounds the idea of Windows Sensors, and what it might mean for the new incarnation of the Windows OS. |

Windows 7 (the Microsoft operating system formerly known as Blackcomb and Vienna) is the working name for the next major version of Microsoft Windows as the successor to Windows Vista. Microsoft has announced that it is "scoping Windows 7 development to a three-year timeframe", and that "the specific release date will ultimately be determined by meeting the quality bar."Windows 7 (Windows Seven) is expected to be released sometime in 2010. The client versions of Windows 7 will ship in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. A server variant, codenamed Windows Server 7, is also under development.
Microsoft, which has brought us many different operating systems from Windows 3.0 to Windows XP, is maintaining a policy of silence concerning discussion of plans and aspirations for Windows 7 as they focus on the release and marketing of Windows Vista, though some early details of various core operating system features have emerged. As a result, little is known about the feature set, though public presentations from company officials have disseminated information about some features. Leaked information from people to whom Milestone 1 (M1) of Windows 7 was shipped also provides some insight into the feature set.
Once Windows 7 has been released, this Windows 7 tips website will provide as many Windows 7 tips, hints, tricks, and other Windows 7 advice as is possible to provide useful information about the new Windows platform to as many Windows 7 users as possible. |
