favourite windows 7 feature ?

I like how you can drag a window to the right or left side of the screen and it'll snap and fill half the screen. I use it a lot when doing homework when I'd keep a word document on one side and an internet browser on the other side.
 
yeah that is a good feature and for those out there without windows 7 that like the sound of it theres a free program called aerosnap that simulates that feature in vista or xp. one of my favourite new bits in 7 is my winlocker where you can password your files, but inparticular there is a bit in winlocker called yo-safe where you can create a hideable partion to store any private files of folders you have. has anyone else used it ?
 
I will look at the feature you mentioned. I just now found another. zip and rar and other formats. compression and decompress. been going on for several weeks. thanks
 
I love how they redesigned the start bar so that each program ahs their own icon, rather than their own space on the taskbar. nothing gets cluttered anymore. :)

Another interesting feature. open about 4 or 5 explorer windows, go into your c: drive or whatever. open another explorer windows and shake it around with the mouse.

Oh yeah, I remember that one, the "Aero Shake" it's called, I think.

wasn't the case with vista, they just got rid of the bar bit for 7. Good for me since I never had in showing in Vista anyway.

Dragging the window to and from the top of the screen to max/restore. I use it all the time.

Jumplists, so handy at times. I also like the pinning icons to taskbar feature, much better than quick launch.

really? I dont really see the point of this.... ???

But I guess it can be handy, as I would often just open Notepad in XP to copy/paste quick links or whatever.....
 
Well I went from XP to win7, never really played with Vista, so it's all really new to me. I love windows 7, so far its been great!

I like the desktop gadgets and the pin to taskbar options.....
