Difference
Unlike
Windows Vista, which introduced a large number of new features, Windows
7 was intended to be a more focused, incremental upgrade to the Windows
line, with the goal of being compatible with applications and hardware
with which Windows Vista was already compatible.[8] Presentations given
by Microsoft in 2008 focused on multi-touch support, an updated Windows
shell with a new taskbar, referred to internally as the Superbar, a home
networking system called HomeGroup,[9] and performance improvements.
Some standard applications that have been included with prior releases
of Microsoft Windows, including Windows Calendar, Windows Mail, Windows
Movie Maker, and Windows Photo Gallery, are not included in Windows
Most are instead offered separately at no charge as part of the Windows Essentials suite
