W7.0 Release Notes
• Windows 7x64 standard image consists of the Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise SP1 OS.
• The first time you boot your computer, you may be prompted for a power-on password. The default power-on password is a well-known password. The password for the local administrator account is initially set to the well-known password. You are encouraged to change the administrator password using the complexity rules after your first full login to the local administrator account. The default name for your computer unless otherwise assigned is SLB-“service tag”. This is a unique id that will not create a duplicate in the SLB environment. Your computer is joined to the DIR domain by default. You can log into your specific domain with your domain\ldap account.

• System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is used as the remote management of the desktop and software distribution.
• Win 7 has better stability and improved performance taking advantage of new hardware technologies.
• Look and feel is no longer XP Classic view.
• More improved security -> virus infection via removable media prevented (case in the recent infection in the field)

Windows 7 End User Introduction
• What's new on the Start menu? – The information on the Start menu is organized more efficiently than in Windows XP, with an
improved programs list and a new search feature to make it easier to find any program, folder, or file you're looking for, just by typing its first few letters. The Start menu is still the place to turn your computer off or log off, but there are also new buttons for locking your computer or putting it into a low-power state called sleep mode.
• What are the new ways to search? – Using the improved search features in Windows 7, you can search from many places, including the
Start menu, Control Panel, and any folder. No matter where you are, you can usually find what you want, even if the item you're searching for is in a different location.
– The Search box on the Start menu is one of the most convenient ways to find things on your computer. Just open the Start menu and start typing. You don't even need to click inside the box first. As you type, the search results appear above the Search box in the left pane of the Start menu.
– The Search box on the Start menu will search your programs and all of the folders in your personal folder (which includes Documents, Pictures, Music, Desktop, and other common locations). It will also search your e mail messages, saved instant messages, appointments, and contacts. It performs the same tasks as the Run command, giving you a quick way to open programs, files, folders, and—when you're connected to the Internet—websites.
– The Search box in a folder will search within the current location by default, though you can expand the search to include additional locations as well.
