Windows 7 was finally unveiled last week at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC). Although Windows 7 looks visually like Windows Vista, it does have some fairly major changes under its hood. The first major change is that Windows 7 will come with fewer applications installed by default, this will allow Microsoft to release updates to programs at regular periods without having to tie each application to each operating system.
In Windows 7 applications will come in three bundles: Windows 7 Core, Windows Live Essentials and Windows Live Services. Windows Live Essentials includes a security centre, email, messenger, movie maker, photo gallery, toolbar and writer. Windows Live Services will allow third-party services/applications to be run on Windows 7.
