Zdravo svima,
Ovoj poruci sam promjenio subjekt jer je tema poruke Windows 7. Nazalost ne
treba ocekivati kako ce Windows 7, donijeti nekih velikih novina kada je u
pitanju pristupacnost. Vec sada je poznato sta je novo u tom novom operativnom
sistemu. Na prvi pogled, bez neke velike analize meni licno vise sve ovo lici na
Vistu nego na Windows XP a posebno mi ne lici na neke velike izmjene u novom
operativnom sistemu. Evo jednog teksta na Engleskom jeziku koji je pobrojao
novine. Tu su i novine koje se odnose na pristupacnost.
Naravno, na osnovu ovog nemozemo suditi o stabilnosti i kompatibilnosti. To
cemo provjeriti kada budemo imali taj sistem na svom racunaru.
Slijedi tekst na Engleskom jeziku:
Accessibility improvements. Microsoft has revamped the accessibility features in
Windows 7 with improved speech recognition and a new Magnifier utility with
full-screen and lens-mode views.
Action Center. While previous versions of Windows included a feature called
Windows Security Center that monitored the various security features of the
system, Windows 7 takes this functionality to the next level with Action Center.
In addition to monitoring security, Action Center also monitors the OS's
maintenance features and consolidates alerts from numerous Windows features into
a single interface.
Aero Peek. This replacement for Show Desktop in Windows 7 lets you "peek" behind
all of the open windows on your desktop and easily view and Windows Gadgets or
files on your desktop. You can also peek into the contents of specific open
windows.
Aero Snaps. By dragging open windows in certain ways, you can "snap" them to the
edges of the screen, maximize, or minimize. This obviates the need to click tiny
onscreen elements, making these features more accessible to users.
Backup and Restore. Windows Vista's stellar backup and restore features have
been streamlined and simplified in Windows 7. Like its predecessor, Windows 7
supports both data backup and image-based system backup, but now the UIs are
more segregated.
Bitlocker To Go. The full-drive encryption feature that first debuted in Windows
Vista has been updated in Windows 7 to support removable USB storage devices
like flash memory drives and portable hard drives.
Blu-Ray support. Windows 7 natively supports Blu-Ray optical discs and enables
you to write to Blu-Ray recordable media.
Calculator. The Windows Calculator utility inexplicably receives a major upgrade
in Windows 7 with calculation history, unit conversion, calculation templates,
data calculations, and other new features.
Credential Manager. The new and improved Windows 7 Credential Manager lets you
save credentials, like user names and passwords, so that you can more easily
logon on to Web sites, networked computers, and other resources automatically.
Credentials are saved in the Windows Vault and can be backed up and restored to
encrypted Managed Information Card (MIC) files. (Credential Manager uses Windows
CardSpace technology.)
Device Stage. This Longhorn-style user experience will be made available for
multi-function devices such as smart phones, multifunction printers, portable
media players, and the like. Through this UI, you'll be able to access the
features that are unique to each device. Each Device Stage page can be
extensively customized by the device maker.
Devices and Printers. This activity center provides a central location for
interacting with any hardware devices--digital cameras, mice, displays,
keyboards, and the like--that may be attached to your PC.
DirectAccess. This feature is aimed at business users who need to securely
access corporate network resources while away from the office. Essentially a
simple replacement for VPN connections, DirectAccess requires Windows Server
2008 R2 on the server-side.
DirectX 11. Windows 7 includes the latest version of the DirectX multimedia
libraries.
Display improvements. Windows 7 includes numerous improvements related to
computer displays, including integrated display color calibration, improved high
DPI support, ClearType, and improved support for external displays. A new
Windows Key + P keyboard shortcut helps you easily switch between connected
displays.
Getting Started. This replacement for Windows Vista's Welcome Center no longer
appears the first time you boot into the Windows desktop, but it still provides
a central location for discovering new features, personalizing the system,
transferring data from your previous Windows PC, and discovering and launching
other common tasks.
HomeGroup. Microsoft has consolidated the most common network-based sharing
tasks into a single simple interface called HomeGroup. Computers in a HomeGroup
can easily share documents, digital media files, and printers over a home
network.
Internet Explorer. Windows 7 ships with the latest version of Microsoft's Web
browser, Internet Explorer 8.
Libraries. In Windows 7, Microsoft has realized a long-term goal to replace the
static special shell folders from previous Windows versions and replace them
with virtualized shell locations that aggregate content from a variety of
physical locations. Libraries are implemented as virtual folders and the views
they present are the results of search queries. Libraries are also the basis for
HomeGroup file and digital media content sharing.
Location-Aware Printing. Windows 7 utilizes different default printers for each
of the network locations you've configured on the system so you won't mistakenly
print a child's school project to the work printer. When you're at work, you'll
print to the work printer, and when you're at home, you'll print to the home
printer.
MinWin. The componentized core of Windows 7, which includes both the traditional
operating system kernel as well as the minimum necessary surrounding support
technologies to create a bootable (and, for Microsoft, testable) system. Note
that, in Windows 7, MinWin isn't a feature per se but is rather the foundation
upon which the rest of the OS is built.
Paint. The Paint utility that's been in Windows from the very first version
receives its first significant upgrade in decades, and now sports the new Scenic
Ribbon toolbar.
Parental Controls. The parental control functionality that debuted in Windows
Vista is updated in Windows 7 to support multiple games rating systems and
parental control providers.
Power Config. Windows 7 includes a new Power Config utility that provides
reports identifying problems, settings, applications, and other things that may
be reducing the power efficiency of your PC.
Problem Steps Recorder. Windows 7 includes a new utility called the Problem
Steps Recorder that captures screen shots of the steps a user is taking so that
help desk personnel can provide a fix without physically having to visit the
desktop.
ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost first appeared in Windows Vista, providing users with a
way to cheaply and easily improve the performance of their PCs by utilizing a
USB memory key as a memory cache. In Windows 7, ReadyBoost is improved in
numerous way: It supports multiple memory devices, can work with USB memory
keys, Secure Digital (SD) memory cards, and other internal flash devices, and
supports over 4 GB of storage.
Scenic Ribbon. Microsoft has evolved the Ribbon toolbar from Office 2007 and
made it part of the operating system in Windows 7. This new version of the
Ribbon, called the scenic Ribbon, is used by two Windows 7 applications, Paint
and WordPad, and can be used by third party applications going forward as well.
Sensor support. Windows 7 includes support for hardware-based sensors, including
GPS-based location sensors.
Start Menu (Enhanced). The Windows 7 Start Menu is an enhanced version of the
Start Menu that debuted in Windows Vista.
Startup Repair. While this useful tool did debut with Windows Vista, it wasn't
installed on PCs by default. In Windows 7, it is installed into the OS partition
automatically and appears automatically when the system can't boot properly,
fixing any problems and returning the system to its normal booting state.
Sticky Notes. The Sticky Notes utility loses the bizarre Windows XP-style
interface from previous Windows versions and supports ink and text input.
Styles. In Windows 7, Microsoft combines various system preferences--including
the desktop background, the Aero glass window color, the system sounds, and the
screen saver--into styles you can customize, save, and share with others.
System Restore. The Windows 7 version of System Restore works as before,
providing a way to non-destructively return a PC to a previous point in time,
but is more reliable, predictable, and effective than its predecessors.
Tablet PC. After making Tablet PC functionality available more broadly in
Windows Vista, Microsoft is improving this technology in Windows 7 with better
handwriting recognition that has improved accuracy, speed, and support for math
expressions, personalized custom dictionaries, and 13 new languages.
User Account Control. While much reviled by certain users, the User Account
Control (UAC) feature that debuted in Windows Vista played a huge role in making
that system the most secure Windows version yet. In Windows 7, UAC is
extensively updated to be less annoying, and the overall system has been
fine-tuned to minimize the number of UAC prompts that interrupt users.
View Available Networks. Windows 7 includes a new Jump List-based utility for
finding and connecting to Wi-Fi, mobile broadband, dial-up, and VPN connections.
Unlike the similar UI in Windows Vista, this utility, called View Available
Networks, does not require you to navigate through a series of dialogs and
windows.
Virtual Hard Disk support. Windows 7 allows you to mount a Virtual Hard Disk
(VHD) as a drive in Explorer so that you can navigate its contents like a
physical hard disk. It also supports the ability to boot from VHD images.
VPN Reconnect. Windows 7 users who still need to make traditional VPN
connections will benefit from a new VPN Reconnect feature that automatically
reestablishes a VPN connection when you temporarily lose Internet connectivity.
Windows Anytime Upgrade. This utility debuted in Windows Vista but was found to
be too confusing for most users, so the electronic upgrade capability was
removed. In Windows 7, Windows Anytime Upgrade returns to electronic upgrading
and Microsoft promises you'll be able to upgrade from one version of Windows 7
to another in about 10 minutes now.
Windows Defender. The malware and spyware protection utility from Windows Vista
continues in Windows 7 with a few changes: It's been integrated into the new
Action Center and its centralized notification system. But Defender also drops
the useful Software Explorer feature, so users will have to look elsewhere for a
way to prevent unwanted applications from running a startup.
Windows Easy Transfer. The Windows Easy Transfer utility that debuted in Windows
Vista has been substantially updated with a new user interface and new
capabilities. As before, Easy Transfer helps you transfer files, folders, and
program and system settings from your previous Windows install to your new one.
This time around, however, the process is simpler and more streamlined.
Windows Explorer. Microsoft has significantly updated Windows Explorer yet again
in Windows 7, this time with a new toolbar, a resizable search box, and a new
navigational pane.
Windows Gadgets. The Windows Sidebar disappears in Windows 7, but the Gadgets
continue on and are integrated with the desktop.
Windows Live. Windows 7 integrates with a growing collection of Windows Live
services, including Windows Live Photos, Windows Live Profile, Windows Live
People, Windows Live Spaces, Windows Live Home, Windows Live SkyDrive, Windows
Live Groups, Windows Live Calendar, Windows Live Events, Windows Live Hotmail,
and more.
Windows Live Essentials. Available as an optional download, Windows Live
Essentials is an application suite that includes a number of new versions of
classic Windows applications, including Windows Live Mail (email and calendar),
Windows Live Photo Gallery (photos), Windows Live Messenger (instant messaging),
Windows Live Movie Maker (video editing), Windows Live Family Safety (enhanced
parental controls), and more.
Windows Media Center. Microsoft's ten-foot UI for digital media content is
improved with a slightly enhanced user interface, multi-touch support, HomeGroup
integration, and various global broadcast TV standards.
Windows Media Player. Microsoft's media player received a major makeover in
Windows 7 with several new features, including enhanced DVD playback, a new
lightweight playback mode, dramatically improved format compatibility (including
AAC and H.264), Windows Taskbar Jump List customization, PC-to-PC and media
streaming, and a new Play To feature.
Windows PowerShell. Windows 7 ships with the Windows PowerShell 2.0 scripting
environment and the Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE).
Windows Search. Windows 7 comes with the latest version of Windows Search, and
unlike the version that first shipped with Windows Vista, you can now obtain
instant search results from network-based file shares as well as local hard
drives. Microsoft has also improved the performance of local searches, sorting,
and grouping.
Windows Taskbar (Enhanced). The Windows Taskbar has been dramatically enhanced
in Windows 7 to minimize clutter. New Taskbar features like Jump Lists, fly-over
and full-screen icon previews, and more.
Windows Touch. Windows 7 builds on the Tablet PC and touch capabilities from
previous Windows versions and adds pervasive support for multi-touch. All of the
major UI components, including the Start Menu, Windows Taskbar, and Explorer,
are touch-friendly in Windows 7.
Windows Troubleshooting. This new Windows 7 feature diagnoses and resolves
common operating system and hardware issues. It works automatically, or you can
visit the Troubleshooting control panel to find problems to troubleshoot.
Windows Troubleshooting integrates with Action Center so you'll be notified when
relevant new troubleshooters from Microsoft and third parties are made
available.
Windows Update. Microsoft's utility for downloading and installing system
updates has been enhanced in Windows 7 to take advantage of changes in the
security model and to better expose optional and featured updates.
Wireless Device Network. Finally, Windows gains a way to use your
wireless-equipped laptop as a wireless access point for other PCs when you're
connected to a wired network.
WordPad. The simple word processor continues into Windows 7 with the new Scenic
Ribbon UI and several editing improvements.
XPS Viewer. While Windows Vista users are forced to use Internet Explorer to
view XML Paper Specification (XPS) documents--essentially Microsoft's PDF
knock-off--Windows 7 gains a dedicated XPS Viewer application.
