With all the anticipated wait for Windows 7, it has finally been released on Thursday, October 22, 2009. Without going into details, I'll describe the top 7 Windows 7 features that will lead you to love Windows 7. 1 - Performance boost
Without a doubt the top Windows 7 feature is performance. On every system that I’ve put Windows 7 on, I’ve seen a performance boost. You'll notice faster boot-up, video encoding and gaming frames per second. In my opinion, this performance boost in Windows 7 is the strongest feature.
2 - More restrained UAC

5 - UI improvements

6 - Touch support OK. I know you are exciting about iPhone and other touch responsive gadgets. So, now face Windows 7. If you've got a touch responsive LCD (which is not expensive these days), you'll be able to operate Windows 7 and every other application within by your fingers on the LCD!
7 - XP Mode
So you still don't want to leave the old Windows XP? Don't worry, you've got Windows XP mode within Windows 7 and it will let you run Windows XP inside Windows 7 with the ability to run all your applications and games that can only run in Windows XP.
