Windows 7's Five "Steal-Worthy" Features

Ever since Windows Vista arrived, MacOS fans have delighted in discussing how Microsoft's newest operating system was "inspired" by Apple's OS. According to TGDaily, though, the tables have turned in Windows 7. TGDaily's Christian Zibreg identifies five Windows 7 features that should be on the "add to MacOS" list, including:

  • Multi-touch (on-screen keyboard, mouse gestures)
  • The Windows 7 taskbar (live thumbnails that even show opened tabs in IE8)
  • Libraries (group as many locations for music, photos, or other media together as you need and access them with a single logical location)
  • Play to and Windows Media Center (better media playback wherever you want it)
  • Device Stage (all your device information and configuration tools in one place)

Whether you're a MacOS fanboy (or fangirl) or are just looking for a better x86/x64 platform than Windows Vista, these features are pretty exciting. Until the public beta hits late this year, you can check out some of these features here.
