Installing, starting and shutting down Windows: Installation of Windows 7 is much faster than Vista. It’s installed in nearly half an hour. Windows 7 is a lightweight software compared to Vista. The OS has a quick boot-up time and shuts down easily.

Application Development: There is development in applications like WordPad and MS Paint. You can see Ribbon button in these applications that you earlier saw in MS Office.

Memory usage: Previous versions of Windows took much memory space when too many current applications were open. Minimized application on taskbar took the same memory space when they were maximized. In Windows 7, only currently activated and maximized windows will take memory space. When applications are minimized, they won’t take memory space. That saves up RAM memory and increase system speed. 

Shortcut keys: Mouse still has its own use in Windows 7. People who love to use hotkeys, will find Windows very interesting as Windows 7 comes with new short cut keys. Pressing Windows key plus up or down arrow key will maximize or minimize your Windows. If you press Windows key plus Left or Right key, your activated window will be resized to half or full width of the screen.
