Has Windows 7 changed the way you use your computer?
Now for most if not all of us, Windows 7 has brought upon performance improvements, and course the new taskbar bring some new features that modify I our handling of applications, but has windows 7 changed anything in particular in how you use your computer?
For me there are at least a couple of things I do differently now:
I have the taskbar on top.
Never thought I would actually leave it like that, but I have. It just looks nice with seven I guess.
I run many more apps at the same time. Before, I would tend to close apps and reopen them if I needed to, rather than have several open windows in the background, sacrificing performance.
I rarely maximize windows anymore. Before, I would maximize almost everything. But now, thanks to the convenience of Aero snap, I can simply drag the bottom/top edge of a window to the bottom/top edge of the usable space, and it automatically vertically resizes the window. I prefer it alot this way, as it allows me to keep track of my contact lists while still browsing the internet or watevs. Not to mention it looks prettier and works more smoothly with aero peek.
I'm also making use of keyboard shortcuts within the OS more, as now there are more useful ones of these.
Overall, I feel more efficient, which at the end of the day, should be what an OS does.
Anything you've noticed?
