Windows 7's Aero: A photo tour

By Seth Rosenblatt on 22 October 2009

Introduced for Vista, the translucent Aero skin has been heavily developed and expanded in Windows 7. See what this key design and interface feature looks like and behaves like in the new operating system.

Default Aero

When you're finally done installing Windows 7, this is what your new desktop will look like (except for the additional programs that have already been pinned to the taskbar in this image). Just like in previous versions of Windows, you can easily drag the taskbar to other edges of the screen and tweak its behaviour. Notice that the icons are quite large, perfectly sized for the new native Windows 7 support for touchscreens.
