Windows 7 More User Friendly, Starting with the Box

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

Microsoft’s main aim with Windows 7 is to make it much easier to use than its predecessor, Vista. Apparently, this also includes the packaging that it comes in.

While the old packaging did take a brief moment to figure out, the new box will work in a way that most of us are very familiar with, and open just like a DVD case. However, the shape of the package will remain the same. It’ll include just the disc and a getting started guide.

Overall, Microsoft reports that they’ve been able to lighten up the package weight by 37 percent with these changes.
