At Staples, we’re glad to be able to offer the power and impressive new features of Windows 7 to our customers. The ability to find files in only two clicks, or to start up and shut down quickly, will make day-to-day computing so much easier. However, we want customers to be able to continue to enjoy the features of Windows 7 just as much after six months as they do on the very first day. That’s why we are on a quest to remind people that PC maintenance is just as important to software performance as routine oil changes are to keeping cars running smoothly.

As people spend more time online and doing work, they should be conducting preventative maintenance every 3-6 months, depending on the age and usage of the computer. With all of the impressive media management features in Windows 7, we expect customers to be even more active with storing and sharing photos, music, games and entertainment. But if customers do not take proper steps toward safeguarding their PCs, they won’t be able to really get the most out of the new operating system.

While Staples EasyTech service provides a range of tech services at our stores, anyone can follow some simple steps at home to keep any computer, and Windows 7, running smoothly:

• Have an antivirus solution and keep it up to date.
• Use Windows Disk Cleanup to safely remove any temporary files from your hard drive.
• Store computers in a well-ventilated area and be sure to clean out any dust or dirt that has accumulated inside the computer case.
• Check for Windows Updates. Periodically visit Windows Update to download any security patches and drivers that are available for your computer.
• Back up digital files, music and photos on an external hard drive.

Look, most drivers are not experts when it comes to what’s happening under the hood of their car, and we really need to think about PCs in a similar way. Put a reminder on your calendar twice a year to spend an hour on your PC maintenance so you can continue to enjoy the media and performance capabilities of the new Windows 7.

Windows Touch holds the promise of fundamentally changing the way users interact with their devices. One of the ways this will happen is by opening up the power of multi-touch to new audiences, which I believe will transform how design and engineering professionals currently interface with the tools of their trade.

The powerful functionality afforded by Windows 7 will also open up new possibilities for other professionals, allowing them to meet their simpler design needs without the steep learning curve of industrial-strength design software like AutoCAD, which has been an industry standard for over 27 years.

In this respect, Windows 7 is helping Autodesk to further democratize design.

Today in New York at the Windows 7 launch event, Autodesk will be showcasing a new technology product that we’ve developed for design enthusiasts to do simple and elegant drawing and drafting. Project Cooper will allow users to easily and quickly create professional-looking drawings and sketches, or precise drawings with real-world dimensions, and share this information with others who may be working in AutoCAD or with other professional applications.

Project Cooper has been engineered to take full advantage of Windows 7 support for multi-touch, including panning, zooming, rotation and flick functionality – which makes this application easier and more approachable for both mobile users and anyone using a touch-enabled machine.

Windows 7 support for multi-touch will be especially important in situations when using a keyboard and a mouse is frankly impractical. During our research we met folks like interior designers, home remodelers, event planners, and contractors who wanted an easy way to be productive when away from the office, such as visiting a project site. That’s why I believe that Windows 7 has the potential to significantly change the life of mobile professionals—by allowing them to perform complex tasks on the go using simple, intuitive gestures.

Overall my experience working on Windows 7 to develop Project Cooper has been that almost everything is faster and simpler, and we know this will be a welcome development for our customers. This is the same philosophy that guided the creation of Project Cooper – the ability to start sketching right away—without any training, with an intuitive user interface and straightforward interaction – just like Windows 7.

For the new Windows 7 users, not just those with multi-touch machines, we encourage you to put your new OS to the test and download the Project Cooper – it is being released as a technology preview so you can try it out ahead of the final version – and be sure to tell us what you think!

Windows 7 is now available to the public and anyone can buy and install Windows 7, whether for a new computer or an existing one. Soon, people from around the world will run your applications on Windows 7. They will expect the application to work and to feel as though it is a native Windows 7 application that takes advantage of new Windows 7 features and technologies like the Taskbar, libraries, touch, and sensors.

As Windows 7 approached GA, we continued to release new developer content to help you get up to speed with the new operating system. Now that it's here, Windows 7 GA is a great “excuse” for us to give you a quick update on all the Windows 7 developer content that is available to help you learn how to write a great Windows 7 application.

Below is a list of locations where you can find Windows 7 developer content.

Updated Windows 7 Training Kit – (Download it now)

To help you get your application onto Windows 7 as soon as possible, we updated the Windows 7 Training Kit for Developers. You can still find all the previous topics such as Taskbar, Sensor and Location, Libraries and Shell, Multitouch, Ribbon, etc. New to the kit are labs that work with VS2010 and use the new MFC improvements in VS2010 (download VS2010). We also added VB to all of our managed solutions – truly, no developer is left behind.

Windows 7 Online Training on Channel 9 Learning Center

Let’s assume you are interested in learning about Windows 7 libraries, or how to add some cool Taskbar functionality to your application, but you don’t want to download the entire training kit. Well with the Windows 7 Online Training Kit located on the Channel 9 Learning Center, you have immediate access to all Windows 7 learning units individually. Each learning unit (like the Taskbar) includes a few hands-on-labs and related videos. This gives you quick and easy access to most of our training material. For the rest of the content, like PowerPoint presentations and additional demos, you will have to download the Windows 7 Training Kit for Developers. The following image shows part of the managed code hands-on-lab for the Taskbar.

As always, the Windows 7 Topic Area on Channel 9 still features specific Windows 7 videos and screencasts. Over the past few weeks, we created new videos that I am sure you will find exciting and helpful, including a new Mark Russinovich video. As a friendly reminder, the last video Mark did, “Mark Russinovich: Inside Windows 7, was a Channel 9 blockbuster. If you haven't already viewed it, I highly recommend it, and make sure you see Mark’s new video Mark Russinovich: Inside Windows 7 Redux. Don’t forget to stay up-to-date with other topics:

• Using Windows 7 – Contains consumer- and user-related videos such as how to install Windows 7 and how to set up a home group network
• Programming Windows 7 – I don’t really need to explain what goes here, right?
• Last but not least, “Under the Hood” –Covers deep architectural Windows concepts

MSDN Developer Center

The MSDN Developer Center also received a “Windows 7 GA refresh” and now sports a new look and much improved functionality. The MSDN Developer Center includes a lot of Windows 7 material that extends the training content on available on Channel 9. You can think of the MSDN Developer Center as a hub for the Windows 7 content that will give you a great head start as you develop applications that will shine on Windows 7. You can find information about specific topics, review different programming models, learn about the developer tools that you can use, watch videos, and read blogs.

A New Book for Windows 7 Developers

Among the other things that you will find on the MSDN Developer Center, is a list of recommended Windows 7 books for developers. It turns out that over the past few months, I’ve been busy writing a Windows 7 book with three amazing co-authors: Laurence Moroney, Sasha Goldshtein, and Alon Fliess. Together, we wrote Introducing Windows 7 for Developers. It covers most of the exciting Windows 7 features like the Taskbar, Libraries, Sensor and Location, Multitouch (including new WPF 4 support with VS2010), and even Silverlight out of

browser (including touch :). As far as I know, this is the first Windows 7 developer book, and I hope you will find it useful. Mark Russinovich found this book helpful while integrating Windows 7 features with the Sysinternals tools and he wrote the foreword for this book.

I hope this list will help get you on your way to writing amazing Windows 7 applications.

The day we’ve all been waiting for—as hardware vendors, software developers and consumers—is finally here! And no one is more excited than all of us at ASUS, as it marks the culmination of the collaborative and proprietary work we've been putting into developing Windows 7 products.

Our product development team has been keeping close pace with our counterparts over in Microsoft ever since the inception of the Windows 7 project. Our mission from the outset was simple: to deliver a unique Windows 7 experience. We’ve stayed true to that purpose throughout, and our customers can be assured that ASUS products aren’t just seamlessly compatible and in perfect synergy with the new operating system, they are also designed to enhance and extend the overall Windows 7 experience.

As an example, I’d like to call some attention to the key innovations we’ve introduced to ASUS notebooks running Windows 7: FastBoot and Turbo33. Available on many of ASUS’ notebook lines, such as the new UL Series and ROG (Republic of Gamers) Series, these features work in perfect concert with—and build upon—the functionality and capabilities in Windows 7.

FastBoot is an exciting feature on ASUS notebooks running Windows 7. Through our close collaboration with Microsoft, we’ve managed to tweak our hardware such that notebooks with FastBoot can boot up to 40% faster* than similarly-spec’ed notebooks without the technology. Boot up times can be as low as 30 seconds*.

The other technology I’d like to highlight is called Turbo33. I’m not at liberty to reveal the ‘secret sauce’ behind this remarkable technology, but ASUS notebooks with Turbo33 will allow users to enjoy exceptionally smooth video playback and online video streaming, as well as rock-solid stability when engaging in processor-intensive multitasking.

These technologies have been an absolute joy to design and implement, and it has been particularly rewarding witnessing how effectively they enhance the overall Windows 7 experience. But rest assured, we won't be stopping here. If there's one thing ASUS is known for, it’s our constant desire to improve the status quo. The promise of innovation is something that customers can always count on us to deliver upon—and the same will be true for all ASUS products that run on, or support, Windows 7.

We also expect the launch of Windows 7 to usher in a new golden age of gaming on the PC platform, and are poised to provide the best hardware for all types of gamers. Over the years, our ROG brand has forged a formidable reputation in the gaming arena, first with our top-performing gaming motherboards and graphics cards, then our aggressively spec’ed gaming notebooks.

ROG products stand apart because we’ve designed them around the needs, preferences and gameplay styles of the best gamers today. We’ve gained these insights by engaging gamers at many levels and on many fronts. ASUS, for example, supports some of the biggest eSports and LAN party events in the world. Just this year, we participated in 62 World GameMaster Tournament (WGT) events around the world, reaching 4,004,892 gamers in total. We were also involved in DreamHack Winter, Sweden; ASSEMBLY, Finland; GamesCon, Germany; and Campus Party, Spain which drew over 10,000, 3,500, 245,000 and 6,500 gamers respectively.

We are also strongly committed to supporting online gaming communities. We have an ongoing collaboration with ESL, the biggest online game portal in the Europe with over 35,000 active players. We cooperate closely with top game publishers worldwide as well, including Blizzard, Ubisoft and EA. We were a Platinum Sponsor at Blizzcon09 earlier this year—a two-day event that drew 30,000 visitors—and had a solid presence at Quakecon09 which saw over 7,000 attendees.

Through the stress testing, surveys and focus groups we conduct through these events and initiatives, we are able to take away a wealth of useful and actionable knowledge—knowledge that we’ve used to make our products better. Our ROG Windows 7 solutions are the ultimate realization of all the gaming expertise we’ve accrued to date.

I’d like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Microsoft. Windows 7 is an amazing operating system, and things will only get more exciting from here on. On ASUS’ part, you have our assurance that we’ll keep racking our brains to conceive the most meaningful and relevant products, technologies and features for today’s savvy consumers and avid gamers.

Today’s launch is something Corel’s software teams have been looking forward to for many months. Windows 7 and Windows Touch are the most exciting things we’ve seen in computing for a long time.

To coincide with the launch of Windows 7, Corel has released two all-new products that re-invent the typical menu-driven user experience, offering consumers more expressive and interactive creative environments. Engaging and dramatically different UI designs let users get the most out of Windows 7 by providing a more natural way of interacting with your PC. It’s all about removing barriers to creativity. Nothing gets between you and your inspiration.

Windows Touch has given our software teams the opportunity to push the limits of user experience. Sometimes computing can feel a bit detached – you sit at your computer, input info with your keyboard and mouse, and see the results displayed on screen. But with our new interface designs and Windows Touch, the computing experience gets an entirely new personal dimension, solidifying the PC’s place as the creative hub of the home.

Watch the video called “A new kind of software” at www.corel.com/windows7 to see Corel’s user experience designer, Jennifer Fraser, explain how Windows 7 and Windows Touch impacted our software design. Jennifer discusses how this amazing new OS offered Corel’s development team the opportunity to offer new experiences that foster creativity and build stronger connections between users and their content, whether it’s a painting, family snapshot or home movie. Jennifer explains our overall approach to designing consumer creative products and gives a quick glimpse at two of our new Windows Touch-enabled products, Corel Digital Studio 2010 and Corel Paint it! Touch, which was announced today.

With our long history of working closely with Microsoft, particularly around the introductions of new operating systems, we speak from experience when we say that they’ve really got it right with Windows 7. This new platform offers unprecedented power and stability, enabling Corel to deliver products that help customers create, connect and interact with their home PC in ways never before possible.
