Microsoft's new Windows 7 operating system, due Oct. 22, supersedes the much-scorned Vista, sports several new consumer-friendly features.
Here are our three favorites:
Search: At long last, Windows gets a decent search function to speedily track down words or phrases on stored documents or other files.
Snap: This handy feature enables a user to position two files side by side and then easily copy and paste from one to the other. You could have your notes on the left side of the screen, for example, and the great American novel you're writing on the right.
Taskbar: The icons of programs are lined up along an edge of the screen in this much-improved taskbar. Place your cursor over an icon and you get thumbnail views of all the program's open windows, no matter how far they're buried under other stuff on the screen.
