Solution

Following are areas that are new:

- multi touch API for developing touch based applications

- new concept of 'libraries' for storing user specific data (similar to mydocuments)

- Enhanced support for GPS and other such hardware

- Office2007 Ribbon like user interface

Problem

What features can I look forward to in Windows 7 that will: - Make my job easier as a developer. or... - Make my job "different"(harder) as a developer. I've been hearing a lot about performance improvements and a few UI effect enhancements, but nothing really about what development on Windows 7 will be like. Thanks.
