1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:06,600
so today I am going to be unboxing Microsoft Windows 7 now I realize

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:10,679
there's not really a a whole lot to unbox here there's a lot of uh text

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,480
about um making sure that you agree to all of this stuff before you open it so

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,080
uh let's get started basically Windows 7 what does it

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,240
bring to the table well we've got the Home Premium Edition here today and

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:26,439
there are a couple other editions there's professional and yeah

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:30,759
professional is back folks it's no longer called business and then there's

8
00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:36,680
also the ultimate edition so so with our home premium here we get welcome to your

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:40,600
PC simplified this OEM software may not be delivered under blah blah blah unless

10
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:44,920
companied okay so we're going to lift pick up these there's your Windows 7

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:51,000
Home Premium it comes in a jewel case that is sealed as per this so uh let's

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:55,280
find out what is in the documentation first so then we'll talk a little bit

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,239
about Windows 7 itself it's uh it's about a simpler PC from day one okay

14
00:00:57,559 --> 00:01:03,320
that's great three easy steps let's get personal awesome so they're giving you a

15
00:01:01,559 --> 00:01:06,799
couple little Basics about how to use the OS and they talk through they

16
00:01:05,479 --> 00:01:11,119
actually we should show this I think they talk about a lot of the stuff that they've done to make things better so

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,799
first of all the taskbar has been improved you can have multiple Windows

18
00:01:13,759 --> 00:01:18,799
that just pop up to show you all of the different things that you have open in

19
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:22,280
for example Internet Explorer so you've got three IE Windows open you can

20
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:26,759
preview them and then click the one you want that's pretty useful they've also

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:30,479
got these uh what are these called jump lists so that gives you common tasks

22
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:33,840
that you do according to what you use this program

23
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:37,520
for so they're using Windows Media Player as an example so you frequently

24
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:42,360
do this and then they're giving you some standard ones as well and then there's

25
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,719
also the desktop preview which is really useful so you drag your mouse down to

26
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:49,520
the very bottom right and then one of the other things that I really like

27
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:54,799
about it is Arrow shake so basically all you need to do is shake a window it'll

28
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:59,600
maximize and then if you shake it again I believe it

29
00:01:56,039 --> 00:02:01,680
minimizes and if you use the arrow snap

30
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:05,880
you actually just drag a window to the left to the right or to the top to

31
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,959
maximize so if you drag it to the right it takes up the right half of your

32
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:12,400
screen if you drag it to the left it'll go to the left half of your screen so

33
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:16,040
that's a pretty cool feature as well oh here's the desktop preview one so it

34
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,319
just makes all of your Windows translucent and you can see the desktop

35
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,000
if you click it then you'll go to the desktop just like the show desktop

36
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:27,480
button on Windows Vista and Windows XP so Windows Media Center is one of the

37
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:31,440
big features included with Home Premium and let's talk a little bit about the

38
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:36,360
differences between Home Premium professional and ultimate so our diss

39
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:41,400
looks like just our standard uh Windows DVD it's a 64bit Edition here you can

40
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:46,560
buy it in 32 or 64-bit I'd really recommend going 64-bit at this point

41
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,200
though Windows 7 Professional okay

42
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,599
Windows 7 Professional gives you a couple of options that you don't have

43
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:56,640
with Home Premium first of all you get XP Mode so XP Mode means that you can

44
00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:00,760
run any XP application in 100% compatibility mode you do need a

45
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:04,280
virtualization ready proc processor so make sure that you have that but it

46
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:08,959
looks like a really cool feature the other thing you get with both XP Pro

47
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:13,879
with XP Pro with seven professional and seven ultimate is the ability to

48
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:19,480
downgrade to Vista business Vista ultimate respectively or to Windows XP

49
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,319
Pro all you have to do is install Windows XP Pro enter any old serial you

50
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:27,440
can find it doesn't even have to be a valid one to be perfectly honest with

51
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:31,280
you then you go to activate it'll fail you call up Microsoft you say Hey I'm

52
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,680
downgrading them you get your Windows you give them your Windows 7 key they'll

53
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:39,080
give you a valid Windows XP key to use until you're ready to go back to Windows

54
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:44,400
7 so thank you for checking out my unboxing of Microsoft Windows 7
