With the Release Candidate now available, many of you have installed Windows 7 and are using it as your primary operating system. We've all seen extensive lists of thew new features available, but Lifehacker has put together a list of seven features that haven't garnered as much attention. From libraries to jump lists to rotating desktop wallpapers; even the ability to change the taskbar back to Vista/XP style if the Win7 one annoys you like it does me. And the User Account Control (UAC) that suffered from the most complaints? You know, the thing that most of us disabled within minutes of installing Vista? In Windows 7, Microsoft gave UAC a facelift, providing a slider bar to choose between various security levels, such as notifying you if a program tries to make changes to your computer, but not popping up a notification if you're doing the changes yourself. It seems Microsoft is certainly listening to its user base for once.
