Windows 7 makes window management a snap—literally. For example, in previous operating
systems, to compare the contents of two open windows, you were required to manually resize
and position each one. In contrast, with Windows 7’s new Snaps feature, you can drag one
window to the right edge of the screen and the other to the left; Snaps automatically resizes
them as needed and snaps them into place.
Revealing your desktop when windows are open is also simple: Just hover your mouse over the
Show Desktop button on the right-most edge of the Taskbar, and the open windows hide from
view. To hide all open windows but one, click and shake the title bar of the window you want to
remain; all other open windows are minimized. Shake the open window again; the minimized
windows reappear.
Windows 7 adds a new feature called libraries. A library displays all content of a particular type,
for example, image  les, in one easy-to- nd location, no matter where on your computer those
 les are located.
