Now, the list of new features and improvements have been published.

Microsoft’s senior program manager, Chaitanya Sareen, has outlined 36 changes on Engineering Windows 7 blog that going to be included in Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC), and thus also in final RTM build of Windows 7.

The brief summary of the changes, new features or enhancements that happen to the Windows 7:

Desktop Experience

1. Windows Flip (ALT + TAB) with Aero Peek

One can still quickly flip between and cycle through running windows using the ALT+TAB keys, but when more window information is needed Aero Peek will appear. This is triggered by a time delay as you pause while keyboarding through running windows.

2. Windows Logo + <#> keyboard shortcut

Pressing Windows Logo + <#> (where <#> corresponds to an item’s order in Quick Launch) can both launch and switch, with multiple windows switch support by repetitively pressing same hotkey. If you need a new instance for IE, simply use SHIFT + Windows Logo + <#>. A program’s Jump List may also be accessed via ALT+ Windows Logo + <#>. Finally, you can even flip back to the last active window of a program by using CTRL+ Windows Logo + <#> (this also works by holding CTRL with a mouse click on a taskbar button).

3. Needy State

First, we changed the flashing animation curve to make it more noticeable (from a sine to a sawtooth wave). Second, we used a bolder orange color. Finally, we wanted to double the number of flashes which is currently set to three. As a nod to Windows 7, we decided to go with seven flashes instead.

4. Taskbar “Open With”

Hold down SHIFT and drop the file on the desired program.

5. Taskbar scaling

Squeeze in 24-39% more icons before the taskbar scrolls; depending upon your resolution, icon size and assuming the default notification area.
