Microsoft released Windows 7 Developer Guide outlining some of Windows 7’s main features as well highlighting the solid foundations Windows 7 is build upon. The goal of this document is to help developers plan for the near future by providing developers a clear picture of Windows 7’s new capabilities, and the scenarios developers can target in order to enhance their end users experiences for Windows 7 applications. For example, Scenic Ribbon (view at PDC ), Multi-Touch (view at PDC ), Libraries (view at PDC ), and Sensors and Locations (view at PDC ) are just few of Windows 7’s features developers can use to enhance their end users experiences. Please note, this document is not a full blown detailed description of the new APIs in Windows 7. In fact, this document does not contain any API references or code examples. All that good stuff will arrive sometime in the near future in future posts.
