Windows 7'S Desktop Slideshow Themes Windows 7's Desktop Slideshow Themes Support for themes has been extended in Windows 7. In addition to setting the colors of the window chrome, desktop background, desktop icons, mouse pointers and sound schemes, themes in Windows 7 include desktop slideshow settings. A new control panel interface, accessible through the "Personalize" context menu item on the desktop, has been introduced which provides the ability to customize and switch between themes, as well as download more themes from Microsoft's web site. A number of sound schemes are included, each associated with an included theme: Afternoon, Calligraphy, Characters, Cityscape, Delta, Festival, Garden, Heritage, Landscape, Quirky, Raga, Savanna, and Sonata. Additional theme packs are available as free downloads from Microsoft's web site. Desktop Slideshow Windows 7 includes a desktop slideshow that changes the desktop background in a designated amount of time with a smooth fading transition. This feature supports pre-downloaded sets of wallpapers and also supports photo RSS feed. Gadgets Windows Vista introduced Gadgets and a sidebar which provides the ability to anchor Gadgets to the side of the user's desktop. In Windows 7, the sidebar has been removed, while gadgets can still be placed on the desktop. Windows 7 adds a Windows Media Center gadget to the default collection while removing the Contacts and Notes gadgets. Managing gadgets is more closely integrated with Windows Explorer, but the gadgets themselves continue to operate in a separate sidebar.exe process.The Desktop context menu includes a new "Gadgets" menu option to access the gadget gallery, and a "View" sub-menu option to show or hide gadgets. Hiding gadgets results in the sidebar.exe process being unloaded, which Microsoft says is a power-saving practice. Unlike Windows Vista, all gadgets run in a single process, which saves memory, and the process is not run at all if the user has no gadgets on the desktop. Windows Explorer The Document Library Windows Explorer in Windows 7 supports Libraries, virtual folders including shared folders on networked systems if the shared folder has been indexed by the host system - and present them in a unified view. By default, a new user account in Windows 7 contains four libraries, for different file types: Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos. They are configured to include the user's profile folders for these respective file types, as well as the computer's corresponding Public folders. The Public folder also contains a hidden Recorded TV library that appears in the Windows Explorer side pane when TV is set up in Media Center for the first time. In addition to aggregating multiple storage locations, Libraries enable Arrangement Views and Search Filter Suggestions. Arrangement Views allow you to pivot your view of the library's contents based on metadata. For example, selecting the "By Month" view in the Pictures library will display photos in stacks, where each stack represents a month of photos based on the date they were taken. In the Music library, the "By Artist" view will display stacks of albums from the artists in your collection, and browsing into an artist stack will then display the relevant albums Start menu The start orb now has a fade-in highlight effect when the user moves the mouse over it. The search results pane in Windows 7, demonstrating a search for the word "wireless". Windows 7's Start menu retains the two-column layout of its predecessors, with several functional changes: The "Documents", "Pictures" and "Music" buttons now link to the Libraries of the same name. A "Devices and Printers" option has been added that displays a new device manager. The "shut down" icon in Windows Vista has been replaced with a text link indicating what action will be taken when the icon is clicked. The default action to take is now configurable through the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window. Taskbar Jump Lists are presented in the Start Menu via a guillemet; when the user moves his or her mouse over the guillemet, or presses the right-arrow key, the right-hand side of the Start menu is widened and replaced with the application's Jump List. The search box, first introduced with Windows Vista, has been extended to support searching Control Panel items. For example, clicking the Start button then typing "wireless" will show Control Panel options related to configuring and connecting to wireless network, adding Bluetooth devices, and troubleshooting server. Taskbar The Windows Taskbar has seen its most significant revision since its introduction in Windows 95. The taskbar is 10 pixels taller than in Windows Vista to accommodate touch screen input and a new larger default icon size, though a smaller taskbar size is available. Running applications are denoted by a border frame around the icon, while applications can be pinned to the taskbar, so that shortcuts to them appear when they are not running. Within this border, a color effect (dependent on the predominant RGB value of the icon) that follows the mouse also indicates the opened status of the application. The glass taskbar is also more transparent. Taskbar buttons show icons by default, not application titles, unless they are set to not combine. Only icons are shown when the application is not running. The Windows 7 taskbar. Pinned applications The Quick Launch toolbar has been removed from default configuration, but may be easily added.[8] The Windows 7 taskbar is more application-oriented than window-oriented, and therefore doesn't show window titles (these are shown when an application icon is clicked or hovered over, provided there are multiple windows for the application). Applications can now be pinned to the taskbar allowing the user instant access to the applications they commonly use. There are a few ways to pin applications to the taskbar. One can drag and drop the icon onto the taskbar. The other way to do so is by right-clicking the application’s icon and pinning the icon to the taskbar. The Windows 7 taskbar shows a preview of the window. Thumbnail previews Thumbnail previews which were introduced in Windows Vista have been expanded to not only preview the windows opened by the application in a small-sized thumbnail view, but to also interact with them. The user can close any window opened by clicking the X on the corresponding thumbnail preview. The name of the window is also shown in the thumbnail preview. Another new feature added is the ability to get a "peek" of the window by hovering over the thumbnail preview. Peeking brings up only the window of the thumbnail preview over which the mouse hovers and turns any other windows on the desktop transparent. For example, if Windows Media Player is opened and the mouse is hovering on the application icon, the thumbnail preview will allow the user the ability to Play, Stop, and Play Next/Previous track without having to switch to the Windows Media Player window. Windows Media Player Jump List. Jump list These are menu options available from right-clicking any of the icons on the taskbar or by holding the left mouse button and sliding towards the center of the desktop on an icon. Each application will have unique jump lists which will correspond to the features unique to the application whether it be recent files opened or common tasks. For example, a Microsoft Word jump list might display all the recent documents opened. The Windows Media Player jump list, for example, displays recently played tracks and playlists that have been played. Internet Explorer's jump list displays recent history of websites and the ability to open a new tab or start InPrivate Browsing. Windows Live Messenger's jump list displays select common tasks such as instant messaging, signing off, and changing online status. While up to 10 menu items may appear on a jump list by default, Windows 7 provides the ability to customize this.[10] The redesigned notification area and a balloon notification showing the Action Center messages. When the action center detects a security threat, it displays a thumbnail with problems listed. Notification area The notification area has been redesigned; the standard Volume, Network, Power and Action Center status icons are present, but no other application icons are shown unless the user has chosen for them to be shown. A new "Notification Area Icons" control panel has been added which replaces the "Customize Notification Icons" dialog box in the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" window first introduced in Windows XP. In addition to being able to configure whether the application icons are shown, the ability to hide each application's notification balloons has been added. The user can then view the notifications at a later time. A triangle to the left of the visible notification icons displays the hidden notification icons to the user. Unlike Windows Vista and Windows XP, the hidden icons are displayed in a window above the taskbar, instead of on the taskbar. Icons can be dragged between this window and the notification area. Windows 7 desktop displayed through Peek. Aero Peek In past versions of Windows, the taskbar ended with the notification area on the right side. However, there is now the Aero Peek button, which, when clicked or hovered over with the mouse, displays the desktop and gadgets by turning all windows transparent. This replaces the Show Desktop shortcut in the Quick Launch bar in previous versions of Windows. Aero Peek exhibits the same features used by the thumbnail previews, except it applies them to the desktop. If the mouse hovers over it, all windows are transparent, as shown in the picture. If the button is clicked, all applications are minimized, and when clicked again, they are restored.

  • Sustaining Software Innovation from the Client to the Web Working Paper
    Principles that Matter: Sustaining Software Innovation from the Client to the Web Marco Iansiti Working Paper 09-142 Copyright © 2009 by Marco Iansiti Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Principles that Matter: Sustaining Software Innovation 1 from the Client to the Web Marco Iansiti David Sarnoff Professor of Business Administration Director of Research Harvard Business School Boston, MA 02163 June 15, 2009 1 The early work for this paper was based on a project funded by Microsoft Corporation. The author has consulted for a variety of companies in the information technology sector. The author would like to acknowledge Greg Richards and Robert Bock from Keystone Strategy LLC for invaluable suggestions. 1. Overview The information technology industry forms an ecosystem that consists of thousands of companies producing a vast array of interconnected products and services for consumers and businesses. This ecosystem was valued at more than $3 Trillion in 2008.2 More so than in any other industry, unique opportunities for new technology products and services stem from the ability of IT businesses to build new offerings in combination with existing technologies. This creates an unusual degree of interdependence among information technology products and services and, as a result, unique opportunities exist to encourage competition and innovation. In the growing ecosystem of companies that provide software services delivered via the internet - or “cloud computing” - the opportunities and risks are compounded by a significant increase in interdependence between products and services.

  • User Account Control - Wikipedia
    12/31/2020 User Account Control - Wikipedia User Account Control User Account Control (UAC) is a mandatory access control enforcement facility introduced with Microsoft's Windows Vista[1] and Windows Server 2008 operating systems, with a more relaxed[2] version also present in Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 and Windows 10. It aims to improve the security of Microsoft Windows by limiting application software to standard user privileges until an administrator authorizes an increase or elevation. In this way, only applications trusted by the user may receive administrative privileges, and malware should be kept from compromising the operating system. In other words, a user account may have administrator privileges assigned to it, but applications that the user runs do not User Account Control "Windows Security" alerts inherit those privileges unless they are approved in Windows 10 in light mode. From top to bottom: beforehand or the user explicitly authorizes it. blocked app, app with unknown publisher, app with a known/trusted publisher. UAC uses Mandatory Integrity Control to isolate running processes with different privileges. To reduce the possibility of lower-privilege applications communicating with higher-privilege ones, another new technology, User Interface Privilege Isolation, is used in conjunction with User Account Control to isolate these processes from each other.[3] One prominent use of this is Internet Explorer 7's "Protected Mode".[4] Contents History Tasks that trigger a UAC prompt Features Requesting elevation Security Criticism See also References External links History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control#Security 1/9 12/31/2020 User Account Control - Wikipedia Operating systems on mainframes and on servers have differentiated between superusers and userland for decades.
