Subsequent chapters will cover some of the new features in more detail, but here are some of the most prominent new features in Windows 7. Windows 7 is designed with touchscreen support, especially multitouch, in mind.
As touchscreen computers are still not common, this book will not discuss the touch capability of Windows 7. The Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 is a collection of six applications that are optimized for touch interactions.

The quick-launch area that most Windows XP and Vista users are so used to is now gone. In place of it is the ability to pin your applications icons in the taskbar for easy access, regardless of whether the application is itself running.
Sadly, the classic Start menu has also been disabled in Windows 7. Hopefully, Microsoft will turn it back on in a future service pack, or determined hackers will find a way to replace it. Figure shows the new taskbar in Windows 7 with several application icons in it.

To select the window, simply click the live preview. When an application has too many open windows, the title of each window will be displayed in a list instead of live preview thumbnails. You will notice that all other windows will now be minimized, leaving the current window.
To get all the other windows back to their respective states, perform the same shaking action again and they should now all appear again. How many times have you tried to arrange multiple windows on your desktop so that you see the windows side-by-side? In Windows 7, when you drag a window to the left side of the screen, the window is automatically docked onto the left of the screen see Figure , occupying half the screen.
