Microsoft Windows 7 is the newest version of Microsoft's client operating system software. Microsoft has taken the best of Windows XP and Windows Vista and combined them into their latest creation, Windows 7. Along with the best of Windows XP and Vista, Microsoft has added several new features to Windows 7 to make more functionality available to users from one location.

Windows 7 eliminates many of the problems that plagued Windows Vista, and includes a much faster boot time and shut down. It is also easier to install and configure, and barely stops to ask the user any questions during installation. Windows 7 was officially released to the public October 22, 2009.
