Windows 7 - (Formerly codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna) is the next release of Microsoft Windows, an operating system produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, Tablet PCs, and media center PCs.
Microsoft stated in 2007 that it is planning Windows 7 development for a three-year time frame starting after the release of its predecessor, Windows Vista, but that the final release date will be determined by product quality.
Unlike its predecessor, Windows 7 is intended to be an incremental upgrade with the goal of being fully compatible with existing device drivers, applications, and hardware. Presentations given by the company in 2008 have focused on multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements. Some applications that have been included with prior releases of Microsoft Windows, most notably Windows Mail (formerly Outlook Express), Windows Movie Maker, and Windows Photo Gallery, are no longer included with the operating system; they are instead offered separately as part of the Windows Live Essentials suite.
Windows 7 - It's the next version of Windows for PCs, and it's the result of working hand-in-hand with our partners and with people who use Windows in the real world every day. We're paying particular attention to the things they're telling us are important to them and will make their PCs work the way they want them to - things like enhanced reliability, responsiveness, and faster boot and shut-down. We're also trying to make their everyday tasks easier, like connecting and syncing devices, browsing the web, and managing a home network.
Of course, we're also working on new capabilities, so people will be able to do things with Windows 7 that were difficult (or perhaps impossible) to do with PCs before. Finally, we're working hard to ensure that Windows 7 will run on any PC and work with any program that works today with Windows Vista, so upgrading from Windows Vista will be easy.
FEATURES:
Windows 7 includes a number of new features, such as advances in touch, speech, and handwriting recognition, support for virtual hard disks, improved performance on multi-core processors, improved boot performance, and kernel improvements.
According to reports sent to TG Daily, the Milestone 1 build of Windows 7 adds support for systems using multiple heterogeneous graphics cards from different vendors and a new version of Windows Media Center. New features in Milestone 1 also reportedly include Gadgets being integrated into Windows Explorer, a Gadget for Windows Media Center, the ability to visually pin and unpin items from the Start Menu and Taskbar, improved media features, the XPS Essentials Pack being integrated, Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE), and a multiline Calculator featuring Programmer and Statistics modes along with unit conversion.
Reports indicate that a feedback tool included in Milestone 1 lists some coming features: the ability to store Internet Explorer settings on a Windows Live account, updated versions of Paint and WordPad, and a 10-minute install process. In addition, improved network connection tools might be included.
Many new items have been added to the Control Panel including: Accelerators, ClearType Text Tuner, Display Color Calibration Wizard, Gadgets, Infrared, Recovery, Troubleshooting, Workspaces Center, Location and Other Sensors, Credential Manager, Biometric Devices, System Icons, Windows Solution Center, and Display. Windows Security Center has been renamed the Windows Solution Center (Windows Health Center in earlier builds) which encompass both security and maintenance of the computer.
The taskbar has seen the biggest visual changes, where the Quick Launch has been merged with the buttons to create an enhanced taskbar or what Microsoft internally refers to as the "Superbar". This enhanced taskbar also enables the Jump Lists feature to allow easy access to common tasks.
According to released PDC 2008, which was held 27-30 October 2008, session information, Windows 7 discussions will cover "enhancements to the taskbar, Start Menu, thumbnails and their desktop elements", a new networking API with support for building SOAP based web services in native code (as opposed to.NET based WCF web services), new features to shorten application install times, reduced UAC prompts, simplified development of installation packages,[56] and improved globalization support through a new Extended Linguistic Services API. Windows 7 will also contain a new FireWire (IEEE 1394) stack that fully supports IEEE 1394b with S800, S1600 and S3200 data rates.
At WinHEC 2008 Microsoft announced that color depths of 30-bit and 48-bit would be supported in Windows 7 along with the wide color gamut scRGB (which for HDMI 1.3 can be converted and output as xvYCC). The video modes supported in Windows 7 are 16-bit sRGB, 24-bit sRGB, 30-bit sRGB, 30-bit with extended color gamut sRGB, and 48-bit scRGB.
BUILDS:
Build 6801
On 8 October 2008, screenshots of Windows 7 build 6801 were leaked. On 28 October 2008, Microsoft distributed build 6801 to attendees at its Professional Developers Conference (PDC). It has since been leaked to bittorrent networks. It features an enhanced taskbar similar to the one in build 6933 although it is disabled by default. An unofficial patch has been released to enable the new taskbar in build 6801.
Pre-Beta 1
Microsoft also demonstrated build 6933.winmain.081020-1842 during the PDC, but did not give it to attendees. On 14 November 2008, screenshots of Windows 7 build 6936 were leaked by Winfuture. On 20 November 2008, Microsoft posted screenshots of build 6948 on the Engineering Windows 7 blog. In early December, WinFutere.de leaked screenshots of Build 6956, which demonstrated a new bootscreen. (Announced by WinFuture since Build 6954) and several improvements. At the WinHEC in China an attendee from the conference leaked a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) image of Windows 7 Build 6956, then an ISO image was published, in this same site we can see many new screenshots of this build. Lately, Paul Thurrott posted several screenshots on his website of a newer build.
Beta 1
Microsoft has confirmed that Beta 1 will be handed out at MSDN Developer Conference on 13th January 2009 in the form of a DVD.
Release Candidate
The release candidate for Windows 7 will be available after Beta 1.
Final Build
While officially Microsoft has stated that Windows 7 will be released three years after Vista was shipped, the company has indicated that it plans to release Windows 7 in mid-2009, in time for installation on PCs that will ship for the Christmas 2009 buying season.

sisco2901 I have a question. Downloaded everything perfect. got it activated with loader using internet option. checked and said windows was activated. Then I change the date on my computer ahead to like 11 months later(Oct. 2010) and checked again (right click my computer and click properties) said "I have 3 days to activate that windows was not activated." Changed date back to today, and said windows is activated. Will I need to keep re-activating this down the road? Or why is windows 7 doing this? Thanks.
I just finish download this. will reply soon and give review.
thx for this
I've a new pc (already with win 7) that comes with office 2007....I cant find keys working for this...can you help me? thanks
what is rar recovery tools for? how to do a boot cd? just burn the iso to a dvd?
how do i activate enterprize with the loader
I finished downloading the files and i started the installation...However the windows 7 setup continues to say starting setup and then just closes.
Please Help!
give it time it will come up it could take up to half hour for it to start install
It keeps closing..i press install and it says copying temporary files then starting setup. Then it returns to the install windows menu.
actually if possible...could someone tell me what to do after i download and extract all the files?
Before burning the compressed files please repair with WinRAR and then uncompress it and burn the ISO. It will solve your problem. Thanks
Bubu:
I downloaded from MF links and get the same as well. If I didn't repair with WinRAR, then what program should i use to repair them?
Really getting frustrated to download the same files and getting all those errors again and again. Haiz..
rar should do it because i download mf files. and i fixed 3 8 9 and 16 and it works. are you telling it to use the ones it fixes or is it just completly not working?
What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit?
Like I mentioned, you'll get some errors on the files, like what ajandrew1991 gotten. Files #3, #8, #9 and #16 will give you errors if they're from MF. Keep all your files from MF and download ONLY parts #3, #8, #9 and #16 from softvnn and it should work like a charm :)
It worked for me... hope it works for you too.
This might help:
Please login or register to download
or
Use full direct downloader
I download all the files from softvnn and nothing's broken.
work like a charm here mate.
and +rep for the uploader

Which password did you use?
You may wish to try copying and pasting this
Please login or register to download
or
Use alternative download link
It worked fine~
is the password for mediafire or softvnn the same? please reply.
does anyone know the cracks for Windows 7 32 bit? I was able to successfully download the final version, but don't have the keys. Can anyone help please?
Links for MF and softvnn are interchangeable, I would suspect both should be the same.
Why not you try and let us know?
You may wish to click on "CANCEL". The installation will continue and you'll be stuck with 30 days trial after installation. Please do use the activator after installation to activate it (perm).
