Last year I posted a video on how Microsoft India’s Development Center celebrated Windows 7’s launch. I then came across another version of the video posted on MSIDC’s official Youtube page, the video is a behind the scenes of the 7000 domino launch and in between they talk about what features of Windows 7 were developed in India. Why I didn’t blog about this earlier surprises me too.
Some of the coolest Windows 7 features that are touted as USPs were done at the Hyderabad center. I came across the video today, so here’s the pending post on what the engineers at MSIDC did for Windows 7:
-
Data backup and Restoration (this works like a charm and is a life saver.)
-
Sticky Notes customization
-
Location awareness of the Weather gadget
-
Multi-touch implementation in native apps like Paint and Wordpad.
-
The revamped Wordpad
-
Mobile broadband connectivity
-
Windows XP Mode (have shared drinks with the team, cool folks!)

O great to know that!
Well they should have at least put a spell checker, dictionary and thesaurus in WordPad. And the Backup and Restore doesn’t support incremental full image backups to the network. Every image-based backup I create on my network has to be a full backup which makes it useless for NAS devices.
