Pozdrav,
Da, ovdje se nabrajaju stvari koje se mogu vidjeti u ranoj pred beta fazi
koju ja koristim trenutno na svom laptopu, no moze doci u medjuvremenu do
josnekih promjena, jer kolko mi je poznato, Microsoft nije kompletirao ovaj
novi operativni sustav sto se tice dodavanja mogucnosti. Evo jos jedan
clanaku kojemu pise sve sto Microsoft planira na podrucju pristupacnosti.

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
licina Vistu nego na Windows XP a posebno mi ne lici na neke velike izmjene
unovom 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
SecurityCenter 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
WindowsCalculator 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
savedin 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
willbe 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
R2on 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
improvedsupport 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
appearsthe 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
mediafiles, 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
atwork, 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,
whichincludes 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
afeature per se but is rather the foundation upon which the rest of the OS
isbuilt. Paint. The Paint utility that's been in Windows from the very first
version receives its first significant upgrade in decades, and now sports
thenew 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
screenshots 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,
andsupports 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
theStart 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
Windows7, 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
supportfor 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
7allows you to mount a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) as a drive in Explorer so
thatyou can navigate its contents like a physical hard disk. It also
supportsthe 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
protectionutility 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
updatedwith 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,
andmore. 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
slightlyenhanced 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),
WindowsTaskbar 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
resolvescommon 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'llbe 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
optionaland featured updates. Wireless Device Network. Finally, Windows
gainsa 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
dedicatedXPS Viewer application. From: "Hrvoje Katic"

XP polako ali sigurno postaje proslost. Isto kao sto dan danas pola stvari
neradi na Windowsima 98, za kojih 6 godina niti na XP-u puno toga nece
raditi. Nekima ce mozda bit tesko ali valja nam se okrenuti buducnosti i
prihvatiti novu tehnologiju takvu kakva je. Druga stvar, mrzim kad ljudi
kazu"cuo sam da Vista ovo i ono", a da prethodno nisu sami nista isprobali i
pokusali se uvjeriti da li je to stvarno tako ili nije. Protiv XP-a nemam
nista, naprotiv jako stabilan sustav, ali svemu jednom mora doci kraj,
nazalost. Uskoro nas ocekuje novi operativni sustav Windows 7, tocnije
pocetkom 2010. godine, i nadajmo se da ce biti bolje prilagodjen slijepima
nego Vista, jer Microsoft mora imati na umu da njihov proizvod ne koriste
samo osobe bez invaliditeta. Lijep pozdrav! ____________________ Za prijavu
