Windows 7 Features Revealed

We finally got the upcoming Microsoft Windows 7 as it gets unveiled at the All Things Digital Conference yesterday. But still, little is known about the highly-anticipated OS that is to be the successor of Windows Vista come 2010.

From the video above, we can see that there are lots of emphasis on touch interface support. Multi-touch gestures in photo galleries like two-finger zoom, flicking, and panning, multi-touch paint program where you can draw with 10 fingers, Multi-touch piano software, application that pulls from Microsoft Live Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth with, again, support for touch.

There will also supposedly be an OSX-like dock. Ha, the copycats are in action again. Time will tell if this will be an innovative breakthrough, or a lackluster offering like the Vista.
