The Windows 7 Beta operating system builds on the security foundation of Windows Vista by delivering increased flexibility in securing PCs and data. The number of operating system applications and tasks that require user interaction with an elevation prompt are reduced, and users with administrative privileges can adjust elevation prompt behavior in User Account Control. Windows BitLocker can now encrypt external devices and provide recovery keys so that the data is accessible when needed. Windows AppLocker provides tools to help dictate which applications are allowed to run on user PCs. Windows Defender is integrated with Action Center and provides an improved user experience when scanning for spyware or manually checking for updates. This session provides an overview of these user productivity enhancements.
Windows 7 Beta helps end users to be productive, regardless of where they are or where the data they need resides. With Windows DirectAccess, mobile users can access corporate resources when they are out of the office, and IT professionals can administer updates and patches remotely to improve connectivity for remote users. Users in branch offices are more productive when they use Windows BranchCache to cache frequently accessed files and Web pages, which reduces latency and bandwidth traffic. Finally, libraries help users organize and manage data files in categorical collections from across multiple locations, and improvements in search capabilities enhance productivity.
