One thing we hate about buying a new Windows-based computer is all the "bloatware" that comes with it. PC makers lower the cost of their computers by including trialware software from software makers, most likely security software and productivity software. Most users won't want any of this software because it expires after a short period of time or it is software they simply don't need. Microsoft is selling in its two retail and online stores that do not contain any of this bloatware and making the computer buying experience more streamlined and customizable for the user. |

The culmination of our Windows 7 coverage is upon us, today is the day Windows 7 is publicly available in retail stores and pre-installed on new computers.

Netflix Instant Streaming has finally been added to Windows 7's Windows Media Center program, which allows Netflix subscribers to instantly stream movies that are available for streaming right to their Windows 7 PC in a matter of seconds. Each Netflix member subscriber receives unlimited hours of instant streaming each month, which is a huge plus if you have your PC connected to a TV or if you are looking to watch a new movie without having to wait for it to come in the mail from Netflix. It's easy to use and the interface is quite intuitive and it works great. |

In Windows 7, Microsoft has included a new networking feature aimed to ease networking computers and sharing files on a home network called HomeGroups. In the past, networking computers meant assigning them to a specific workgroup and it was tough to get it all working right all the time, so HomeGroups aim to solve all those issues by making it "one-click", which it pretty much is. |

In our continuing series to get you ready for the release of Windows 7, we thought it would be a good idea to take a look at perhaps the biggest change to Windows Explorer: Libraries. You'll run into Libraries each time you open a Windows Explorer window and they come pre-configured on each new installation of Windows 7, but what are they for and how do you use them? Their concept may seem a little confusing at first, but they are actually very handy if you know how to use them. |
