2. Performance - In a recent blog post by Intel’s Brandon LeBlanc, he had mentioned how the Windows 7 is a better platform compared to its predecessor, the Windows Vista. Nvidia’s product manager Chris Daniel pointed out how the Windows 7 was the first OS to treat the GPU as a peer to the CPU.

3. Games Explorer – Yet another new feature in the new Windows 7 is the Games Explorer. Though it wouldn’t help the common gamer with respect to performance, it sure will be useful. Once a game is instlled in the PC, gamers could access their games from the Games Explorer tab.
