In recent months, I have broken hundreds of images of the interface of Windows 7, for use in galleries here at ZDNet (like this and this), and Windows 7 Inside Out. However, static images do not do justice to some of the nuances of reality, using a function. So when the video production ZDNet crack team offered to help produce some screencasts, I seized the opportunity.
No doubt you've heard of Aero and Aero Snap Shake. Here is a chance to see these features in action.
I even remember the first time I saw this feature demonstrated for me. I was immediately impressed with the idea of mouse gestures could make it easier window management. This is especially important these days in 20 - and 24-inch monitors are very common.
In fact, after using Windows 7 for almost a full year, I must confess that I am spoiled by this feature, more than any other. When using a computer with another operating system, Windows Vista, XP or OS X, I really miss the ability to maximize and minimize a window with a mouse movement or break a window in the lateral position of the screen.
This is the first of four Windows 7 demos I've done in this series. Look for the next next week at this time.
