New Windows 7 Applications

What's the difference between a new application and a new feature? Changes to applications that already appeared in Windows XP or Vista, and functionality that's built in to Windows, are features, whereas totally new functions and groupings of functions, especially those that you launch and interact with directly, are applications. This tutorial will be about applications that are new in Windows 7. For that reason, this tutorial discusses applications such as Live Essentials and its components and Windows Media Center but doesn't discuss Calculator and Paint, which both have new features.
