Windows 7 also has improved device-management features that enable you to easily connect,
manage, and use any devices, such as printers, scanners, cameras, that are connected to
your computer.
Manage devices connected to your computer from one convenient location.
If you have a home network, the HomeGroup feature makes it painless to connect any
computers running Windows 7 to that network, and to share  les, folders, and even devices such
as printers with other Windows 7 computers on the network. Accessing these  les and devices
is as easy as if they were on your hard drive.
If you use a laptop computer, you’ll appreciate Windows 7’s improved power-management
features. One feature, adaptive display brightness, dims the display if your system has been idle
for a time; another ensures that less power is used to play DVDs—especially handy on long trips
where AC power is unavailable.
