About Windows® 7 Release Candidate

The Release Candidate features several changes and improvements since the Beta release in January. Here are a few of the highlights:

-	Needy State -This is the alert you see when a window needs attention. We've changed the flashing animation and used a bolder orange color to make it more noticeable.
-	Taskbar "open with" -You can now open a file with a desired application by holding the shift key while you drop the file on that application.
-	Taskbar scaling -You can now squeeze more items in the taskbar before scrolling; depending on your resolution and icon size, you can get up to 39% more icons than with the Beta.
-	User Account Control (UAC) -We've made a design change that will prompt for any modifications to the UAC control panel.
-	FAT32 support -Libraries in the RC now support non-removable FAT32 and NTFS hard disk drives.
