00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:06.600
so today I am going to be unboxing Microsoft Windows 7 now I realize

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

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

00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:19.080
uh let's get started basically Windows 7 what does it

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:22.240
bring to the table well we've got the Home Premium Edition here today and

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:26.439
there are a couple other editions there's professional and yeah

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:30.759
professional is back folks it's no longer called business and then there's

00:00:28.439 --> 00:00:36.680
also the ultimate edition so so with our home premium here we get welcome to your

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:40.600
PC simplified this OEM software may not be delivered under blah blah blah unless

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:44.920
companied okay so we're going to lift pick up these there's your Windows 7

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

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:55.280
find out what is in the documentation first so then we'll talk a little bit

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

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

00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:06.799
couple little Basics about how to use the OS and they talk through they

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

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:15.799
first of all the taskbar has been improved you can have multiple Windows

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

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:22.280
for example Internet Explorer so you've got three IE Windows open you can

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:26.759
preview them and then click the one you want that's pretty useful they've also

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:30.479
got these uh what are these called jump lists so that gives you common tasks

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:33.840
that you do according to what you use this program

00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:37.520
for so they're using Windows Media Player as an example so you frequently

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

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:45.719
also the desktop preview which is really useful so you drag your mouse down to

00:01:43.880 --> 00:01:49.520
the very bottom right and then one of the other things that I really like

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

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:59.600
maximize and then if you shake it again I believe it

00:01:56.039 --> 00:02:01.680
minimizes and if you use the arrow snap

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

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

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

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

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:19.319
just makes all of your Windows translucent and you can see the desktop

00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:23.000
if you click it then you'll go to the desktop just like the show desktop

00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:27.480
button on Windows Vista and Windows XP so Windows Media Center is one of the

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:31.440
big features included with Home Premium and let's talk a little bit about the

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:36.360
differences between Home Premium professional and ultimate so our diss

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:41.400
looks like just our standard uh Windows DVD it's a 64bit Edition here you can

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

00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:48.200
though Windows 7 Professional okay

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.599
Windows 7 Professional gives you a couple of options that you don't have

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

00:02:54.200 --> 00:03:00.760
run any XP application in 100% compatibility mode you do need a

00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:04.280
virtualization ready proc processor so make sure that you have that but it

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:08.959
looks like a really cool feature the other thing you get with both XP Pro

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:13.879
with XP Pro with seven professional and seven ultimate is the ability to

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:19.480
downgrade to Vista business Vista ultimate respectively or to Windows XP

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:23.319
Pro all you have to do is install Windows XP Pro enter any old serial you

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

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

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:35.680
downgrading them you get your Windows you give them your Windows 7 key they'll

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

00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:44.400
7 so thank you for checking out my unboxing of Microsoft Windows 7
