Exploring the Redesigned Desktop
With Windows 7, it is easier to work on desktop. It comes with three powerful features named Aero Shake, Aero Peek, and Aero Snap. The user who works on modem operating system often complaints about the hassle of juggling of too many windows. Aero peek helps the user by showing the desktop field in the right of the taskbar and displays the outline of the currently open windows, which is mostly the cause of chaos. It provides you with the power of X-ray vision which allows you to peer past all your open windows to the desktop. Point to the taskbar and it will reveal all your hidden icons and gadgets.

Built-in Photo Editing
It looks like Microsoft — with Windows Live Photo Gallery — wants to step on the toes of photo management and editing apps like Google’s Picasa. The gallery not only lets you organize and manage all your photos, but also edit and post them online using your Windows Live Account right from within the application. Its editing features include auto adjust, resize, red-eye correction and all the usual staples found in any other photo application. If you work with photos all the time, you’ll probably prefer to use your existing tools, but if you only work with photos occasionally having these features on tap is very useful.
