 Introduction to Windows 7
 
Windows 7 Home Premium offers a rich, dynamic entertainment experience on your PC, making it easy to create a home network and share all of your favorite photos, videos, and music. You can even watch, pause, and rewind TV or record it to watch whenever and wherever you want.

Personalize your desktop: Easily change backgrounds, window colors, and sounds to reflect your personal style. You can even turn your desktop into a slide show of your favorite photos.

Enjoy better Web browsing with Internet Explorer 8: Get impressive new features such as Web Slices, which lets you track information such as auction items, sports scores, and weather reports without revisiting a site.

Access recently used files with just two clicks: Right-click the relevant program icon (such as Word) on your taskbar and Jump List will show your most recent, frequently used, and pinned Word documents.

Stream music files on any network-connected device: Just open Windows Media Player, right-click on what you'd like to hear, select Play To, and you'll see a list of devices and PCs on which you can play your music.

Find virtually anything on your PC - from documents to photos to e-mail: Just click on the Start button, and enter a word or few letters in the name or file you want into the search box, and you'll get an organized list of results.

Share files across the various PCs in your home: Use HomeGroup to connect your PCs running Windows 7 to a single printer. Specify exactly what you want to share from each PC with all the PCs in the HomeGroup.

Pin any program to the taskbar: Any program is always just a click away - and you can rearrange the icons on the taskbar just by clicking and dragging.

What the Operating System Does.
 
The operating system is like a traffic cop that coordinates the flow of data and information through the computer system.  In doing so, the OS performs serval specific functions:
 
  1. It provides a way for the user to interact with the computer
  2. It manages the processor, or central processing unit (CPU)
  3. It manages the memory and storage.
  4. It manages the computer system's hardware and peripheral devices.
  5. It provides a consistent means for software applications to work with the CPU.
