Windows coolness
So, by accident, I found 2 really cool things about Windows 7, although one of them works in Vista too.
So, some of your probably know how you can change the font size/scaling of webpages in a browser by holding down the control key and scrolling the mouse wheel. Well, check it out, you can do the same thing with Explorer windows (not IE windows, desktop windows) like My Docs, Pictures, My Computer, etc. Works best with windows that are viewed in icon view and the images scale in size quite nicely.
Also, Paint has gotten a much needed face-lift in Windows 7, It now looks like the Office 2007 apps. Functionality and use-ability are much improved, but what is missing is the way that Vista lets you edit with more features, right in the Windows Photo Viewer. Oh well, maybe that will be fixed in the release versions versus the Beta.
